If "counter cultural" sounds like the kind of reality change that appeals, then the 37th Live Oak Music festival is your ticket.
It's been a Father's Day weekend tradition for us for most of the last 20 years. Many of the years have been chronicled here. The mantra "Peace, Love, & Dirt" is therapeutic, as is the music, and the extraordinarily sunny disposition of the Live Oak Nation, now many generations deep.
Emcee Joe Craven, music innovator, educator, and experimenter who's played with Jerry Garcia, Allison Brown, Stephane Grapelli, David Lindley and many others, reminded the Live Oak Nation the world could and should take a cue from the encampment on the California Central Coast.
Live Oak is a fundraiser for public radio station KCBX and it's become something of a family tradition for many Californians.
Kid's playing in the youth area are children of couples who met here. Some of the folks in the dancing corner were probably a little swifter 30 years ago, but they are still up.
Here's this year's photo trip. I hope the shots take you someplace where the vibe is Peace and Love and enjoying others.
