The Gathering is getting too far away from its roots in my humble opinion. If I wanted to see Tim or John W.H., I'd go to one of their concerts. I used to go to the Gathering to see and hear "the real thing" by people who live it as well as write and sing about it. Frank Gleason, Lloyd Dolan, those girls that sing so good... But life is change so they say. Glad to see the Sunday go back to a rancher's "fun" rodeo. Good for the guys and gals that have gone on to become more professional and competitive, it's a great movement. Now it's time for the local ranch 'families' to have some fun again. I for one, will only be attending on the Sunday.
