Festival Memories

Max From Bloomington

"Max from Bloomington", the man with the toenail guitar picks, came back to Bean Blossom for the first time in 16 years (at the 1st Annual Bean Blossom Gospel Jubilee). A friend had told him of the article on the BB website. Max Sullivan, now retired, lives in a motor home and spends about 6 months in Indiana (Solsberry, just outside Bloomington) and then heads south to Florida for another 6 months when the hummingbirds leave Indiana for the winter.
Max hasn't changed much except he has shaved off his beard. But he still carries a walking stick, this time, a beautiful one he picked up in Florida which has a handle resembling a snake's head. It was good to visit with Max-brought back Bean Blossom memories of years ago.
