I attended my first Strawberry Music Festival in Yosemite this past weekend. It was four days packed with live music, hiking, jamming and trying not to get sun burned.
It was a great work out overall. We did Michael Franti aerobics on Saturday night with all of his "let me see you jump." And, "now wave your hands. Jump. Let me hear you say woooo-oh. Now jump. Wave your hands. Shout. Jump! Jump! Wave! Jump!" Get the picture? Always a good time with Franti.
The next night we participated in Natalie McMaster-cise. With her lively fiddle playing and dance lesson there was no standing still. It was, "step - shuffle, step-shuffle, step-shuffle" for about an hour or so.
Arms and fingers were exercised at Jammin' 101, where musicians of all kinds and levels got together to play music. And our lungs were exercised as well from talking with many wonderful festival attendees, singing along with the bands and chatting it up in between.
Another group that was quite entertaining was Poor Man's Whiskey. A lively bunch of talented musicians. Here is a sample of a comedic song. It's in "ragtime" style and is about PMS.

Sunny Sunday...
Today there was a 20 piece band playing a benefit on the other side of the fence from my place in town. This meant a free show for me and Squirrel Meat who enjoyed the music while working in our garden. We also partook in some dancing as well.
