Patti Smith is playing the meadow in historic Golden Gate Park today at the "Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival".
The festival features 6 stages, spans over 3 days, and is expecting 750,000 guests to attend.
For music lovers and musicians, the Strictly - celebrating its 10th Anniversary - is the event to party-hearty this weekend on the West Coast.
On its final day, the Festival is expected to climax at a frenzied pitch, in spite of the forecasts of rain.
As I pen this post, the showers persist, but that won't deter any of the die-hard fans who will turn out in full force with - slickers, umbrellas, and what-have-you - nonetheless.
The event is backed by financier Warren Hellman, who appeared Saturday at the Bluegrass Festival with Mayor Gavin Newsom, to announce a gift for the city.
Hellman has promised to donate approximately $75,000 to fix the irrigation system in a portion of Golden Gate Park where the Bluegrass event is being held.
Sunday's lineup includes Indigo Girls, Roseanne Cash, Nick Lowe, and Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Patti Smith, T Bone Burnett, Hazel Dickens and many more acts.
