Blues Festivals: Part 2
Another blues festival stands out in my mind was a festival that was set up so that once inside the paid areas that had more than one stage for daytime and then reduced to just the main stage in the evening after dark. The main stage was at the bottom of a small hill and at the top of the hill was a tent where you could find a little shade. I believe this was in very early September, maybe Labor Day weekend. anyway it was hot. My family and I were sitting in chairs at the edge of the tent. Just upwind from us there was a Salsa vendor and every time they would cut up another bunch of peppers it was strong enough to make our eyes water. I believe this to be the festival where I ate some alligator on a stick. I was not real impressed. There was so much spicy breading on the meat that I wasn’t able to taste the meat. Maybe so I wouldn’t notice that it tasted like chicken.
