...Monterey. Dave Brubeck was the featured artist on the Jimmy Lyons stage for that evening's set. I've seen Dave three times now in the past 10 years, all of them at Monterey.

...Monterey is a GREAT festival, but it seems that all the things I'm always interested in seeing are going on simultaneously at different venues, OR the opposite, there's not much going on of interest to me.
