Farm Aid 2008

As I sit here writing this Neil Young just walked off the stage at Farm Aid. He blew me away! WIthout giving you a compete review of his set he ended with a Beatles song "I'd Love to Turn You on" By the end of the song he had broke every string on his guitar and was playing some awesome feedback with loose strings on his Gibson pickups. He was on tonight! The master of feedback he leveled the stage...What an artist he is...he never fails to just take me back on a trip through the decades with his music.

Farm Aid 2008 is being broadcast live on Direct TV channel 101. Direct TV is matching all donations dollar for dollar. Well sometimes it feels good when corporate America does the right thing. Go give Farm Aid some money. Go see what they do. They help people in need and they have a just cause. Just go look at the help in hurricane damaged areas and all the work they do on the small farms. The proof is in the checks and the news stories. Willie Nelsons signs every check that gets written. How many organizations can say that?

Willie is on stage at this moment. After 6 hours of music including the likes of John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews seems we are only getting warmed up. Long live Farm Aid and all the musicians who support the cause, our family farmers.
