Good music ahead...

This weekend, Meriden's annual Daffodil Festival brings lots of good music, including headliners Eric Burden & the Animals. I don't care if there are any original Animals (actually, original guitarist Hilton Valentine is in the band), for Burden is a great rock/blues performer in his own right. In addition, catch SNL's Christine Ohlman & Rebel Montez, Plantsville's own The Sawtelles, and The D. Smith Blues Band.

Here's the complete dilio (for those of you not in the know, the Urban Dictionary defines dilio as "...a word nerds use when they want to try to be cool. It means deal and is usually used with a weird english accent. It is not really that cool and should only be used occasionally because of it's god damn weirdness."):
