Winfield was weird.

Yes, it was wonderful, as always. And we saw a jillion friends and played music for hours and hours and hours. But after campsites were relocated to Winfield City Lake, it was just … weird.

I want my Pecan Grove back next year, please.

Back Porch Buddha on Stage 2, Winfield 2008
The Buddha boys on Stage 2 for the Songwriters Showcase

Anyway, the Buddha boys were all over the place. We played in the songwriters showcase again, owing to Bryan’s win (Songs About Feelin’ Good) with “Two Flattop Guitars.” It was at Stage 2 this year, which rocks. Despite the shuffled nature of the fest, the event was well-attended — maybe moreso than in recent years, actually.

Back Porch Buddha on Stage 5, Winfield 2008
The Buddha boys on Stage 5 (before it was relocated yet again).

Buddha semi-regular Tom Wolf brought the bottom for the second consecutive year.And we played Stage 5 (before it’s second relocation). No mics or PA. We did, however, have the able assistance of St. Louis bassman Tom Wolf for the second year in a row. Thanks, Tom.

And Bryan opened the proceedings at the final K.C. Haywood Memorial, held at Stage 7. Rest in peace, KC.
