I go to Folklife every year and am excited about all different parts of the festival. You can often find my busking on my Stand up Bass with various different groups, or sometimes on a stage somewhere. Or, you can find me dancing and twirling. ...or volunteering to help put this festival on. This awesome festival is my annual dosage of cultures from around the world. I live in Montana, but every Memorial Day Weekend, you can find me at the Seattle Center
