Last week at the Blossom Music Center outside Cleveland, Denver drew more than 10,000 members of what one Blossom official called the "clean-shirt crowd."

At Festival "headquarters" at the Loeb, activity has reached a feverish pitch on stage, in the shop and in the HDC office. Jon, Weezy and Colin seem to be everywhere at once, followed by an enthusiastic production staff wherever they go.
