The Plastic Sax staff managed to drop by Corporate Woods on Saturday and Sunday. We left both days before the headliners appeared. The size of the audience Saturday was at least fifty percent larger than on Sunday.
This is news because Saturday was ostensibly a "jazz" day. The site transformed into a country festival Sunday.
Is this disparity a referendum on jazz versus country? Was Saturday's big crowd only there for the Average White Band, the '70s funk hitmakers? Are Lone Star, the headliners Sunday, no longer able to attract thousands of fans? Or is it just that fewer people go out on Sunday?
I don't know what to make of it.
Megan Birdsall and her band of first-call ringers, by the way, were spectacular.

I'm curious to know their estimated attendance.
ReplyDeleteHope the same ringers are playing Wednesday night at Jardines with MB.
I making this number up well after the fact, but I'd guess that Saturday at 7pm there were 3,000 people there. And I'll put the number at 2,000 at 6pm on Sunday. Other estimate may differ wildly.
