Saturday 6/26/10 (4:30 p.m.) Today was a pretty long day for me considering that I usually don't wake up until well after 10 during the summer. We woke up nice and early this morning to ensure that we would be able to attend workshops starting at 10.- At 10 a.m. I attended a Gypsy Jazz Guitar workshop lead by Stewart Fuchs and Joshua Assad of Babik. I hadn't brought a guitar along but I enjoyed the workshop all the same. Joshua and Stewart showed a large group of guitar players the correct way to strum a guitar within the gypsy jazz style of playing. This style is kind of a reverse of the way that guitar players usually play. They explained that the 2nd and 4th beats must be accented, however, the length of the notes should not be compromised during the process.

- At 11:15 a.m. we travelled over to the main stage where we were able to catch another performance by Paul McKenna group, whom we had seen the previous night. Seeing as they only have one album out at the moment, they had to repeat a few tunes. This turned out to be not quite so bad, however, because many of the audience members were able to sing along.

- At 3 p.m. we returned to the main stage to watch a kind of pre-concert performance by Babik. At this point it had been raining for a while and many of the audience members were either wet or sporting brightly colored umbrellas. It was difficult to truly enjoy the performance because of the crummy weather in combination with the fact that the sound systems are not used to their full potential during the day. Luckily, we would be able to see them perform again tonight on the main stage with the full effect of the sound systems.
