Once upon a time, we had two music and art festivals. One was always the first full weekend of April and was called Riverfest. The other was the weekend before Columbus Day and was called Uptown Jam.
Both were great fun and attracted lots and lots of people.
But these kinds of festivals take lots and lots of time and effort and the people running them got tired.
I really, really miss Riverfest and Uptown Jam.
I got a press kit in the mail for the Westobou Festival in Augusta. It's more than week-long festival Sept. 18-27.
There's all kinds of music, including big names like John Hiatt and Lyle Lovett; theater like the 51st anniversary of "The Three Faces of Eve" and art exhibits like a Robert Rauschenberg installation and a James Brown exhibit. There's lots more stuff going on.
Alas, no Riverfest or Uptown Jam.
That doesn't mean someone can't bring them back.
Please!

I know! There's no reason why we can't have a weekend musical festival with AN a-lister...
