The Post Folk Fest Fester's Fest

Hey friends.

Going on one week since the release of the new video for Who? Appreciate each one of you that has listened and shared.

The line "Who took the heart out of the heartland?" stings a bit more than usual this morning.

Better days ahead for us all, though it may be a while, the arena is getting noisy, friends.

I just want to thank everyone that came out for the first 2019 PFFFF Concert this weekend! Special thanks to these, Friends of The Rebel Lounge, who jumped in and lent a hand:

Mark Schultz, Roger Goff, Dennis Rowan, Jeff Cravetz, Michael Craner, Carolyn Miller & new member of the crew, videographer, Chris Cafiero (post that soon Chris!)

Also, Tracey Horrocks, who knew she was coming and baked a cake! (which was thoroughly scarfed up)

The music was fantastic! I couldn't have asked for a better line up to kick this thing off! Thanks, you all were in top form!
Kenn Kweder, Skip Denenberg & John Byrne and his AMAZING band!

And special thanks to Michael Tearson for an assist on MC duties!

The rebirth of the Rebel Lounge is underway!

Sorry folks! Dang it all but the extent of repairs and improvements to the stage and surrounding area was just a bit too much to do properly and still squeeze a show in this year. 🤢 I've redesigned the venue with sustainability and functionality in mind (style too). 2018 I'll be up and running for three seasons of stellar events! 😎

The Rebel Lounge will be making a Purposeful & Focused Comeback in the Spring of 2017. Stay tuned for Anti-Trumpfascism / ProActivism Concert & Speaker Series / Great Music / Progressive Blow-your-mind-in-a-good-way, Actionable Topics / Like-Minded Comaraderie

To all the good people that are feeling anxious right now (This is scary s**t!) Just remember: WE OUT NUMBER THEM, WE ARE SMARTER THAN THEM (ok, so we aren't as devious or diabolical as them but we are much smarter), WE HAVE BETTER & STRONGER HEARTS THAN THEM, WE ARE AWAKE NOW, WE ARE GETTING ACTIVE & ORGANIZED NOW, WE ARE GOING TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK AND WE ARE NEVER GOING TO LET THIS S**T HAPPEN AGAIN!!
(and pray he doesn't blow the world up before we can impeach him ;-) ) NAMASTE ( -_-) & GET READY TO FIGHT LIKE HELL!!!
PS. I'm hosting an Anti- Trump Concert/Speaker Series this Spring- Summer at the Rebel Lounge.(For those that live in the Philly area- stay tuned!)

Remember: Resistance is NOT futile!!! But sheepish acquiescence IS!!!

For all those wondering about the PFFFF this year I've decided to take a breather- I just couldn't pull it off- too much going on. Next year I'm changing the format to a spring/summer/fall concert series.

As far as what's been goin on,here's the main thing: My wonderful daughter Amanda married a great guy, Michael Fenton on September 19th!!! They make a brilliant couple- welcome to the family Mike! (even the PFFFF has to take a back seat to some things smile emoticon ) Congrats to both of them !!! I've been waiting for the pics to come in to post this:
