For this show and for the festival, they have a really cool system of doing much of it as a community. So, instead of some guy promoting a show himself with profit as the main goal, all the folks around here get together and contribute their time, talents and homes for all the various things that need to happen. Fer'instance: instead of spending truckloads of money on hotels for the artists, we stay at volunteers' private homes.Talk about hospitality! These beautiful people offer us warm, homey beds, cook for us and open the fridge and bar, but most importantly we are treated as family and get to know everyone as well as learning more about the country and its
language and customs than any normal tourist ever could. All these folks are huge music fans, so there is always lots to share. Above, our hosts from last summers' Labadoux appearance, is Johan (did I spell it right this time?) and his lovely wife Karin. Below is the family of Rik and Christine who were our hosts the first night and fed us Belgian chocolate for breakfast. Talk about paradise. The baby lambs were just too cute to leave out.
