Up the street, the trio Gentle Robot played indie rock: <br /> down the street the Blue Tailed Skinks string band played "Boil Them Cabbage Down" with a man in a loose <br /> saffron outfit dancing through the crowd. <br /> And that was just for starters Sunday, as the Carrboro Music Festival opened for its 16th year. <br /> Throughout a balmy, sunny afternoon -and in some places, well into the night- rock, jazz, funk, fusion, ukeleles <br /> and marimbas filled the air from the Chapel Hill border west past the Town Hall Commons, and thousands came <br /> out to enjoy the sounds of more than 180 bands. <br /> http://www.newsobserver.com/2013/09/29/3240823/music-festival-makes-carrboro.html Page 1 of 3 <br />
