"In a society where labor has become for the overwhelming majority of people an alienating activity...the world of leisure has become the relatively free place where people attempt to realize who they really are. The space of "free time" is where the physical and emotional damage of work is repaired, the place where people relieve all the piled up unmet needs of rest, fun creativity, critical thinking, and social connection. In sum, leisure is the location of a struggle to become more fully human." - Sandy Carter

A 'special' thanks to Cory for everything! She did everything from placing flyers on tables & chairs ..to arranging interview personalities ..to pulling wire ..to helping with clean-up! She's quite a lady!
Also, kudos to Sean McGroarty for handling the microphone duties on the interviews.

Well we have had a change in our line up and now our friend Ron Hacker has found his European trip extended and he has to bow out of his spot. Hopefully we can arrage for him to return in the near future. Competition was tough but we chose to fill is spot in the show with Rene Solis and the Guitar Extravaganza. So look out for this year Modesto Blues festival because our world will rock with this new addition to the all star line up of blues artists. And don't forget that we bring all this to our Modesto Blues festival and we are a FREE admission all ages community building event
