Because I'm NOT. Dang it.

DMB
Trey Anastasio
Jack Johnson
Los Lonely Boys
James Taylor
B.B. King
Elvis Costello
The Roots

Among others, God I would love to see that.

Sometimes it sucks being a responsible adult.

I'm doing my best to get over there. Only a nine-hour drive from here

Unfortunately, it's like a week and a half long right before finals, so...

Brock, you mean you are going to put academics ahead of leisure time? What are you going to college for? You need to get your priorites straight mister!

theres plenty of jazz going on there, if uve ever been to new oreans youd know that festival or not the streets are filled with poor bums making better jazz and blues music with garbage cans and their old six strings theyve had since they were like 10. its awsome how many great musicians fill the city up. not to mention the slew of other bands that will be there that are all about jazz, dont let names like dmb n jack johnson fool you. and btw, trey can tear jazz apart, you should hear phish's cover of charlie parker's "funky bitch", they nail it (only better than the original). so yea, dont be mistaken, its gonna be ridiculous, hopefully some of you guys can make it!

Ha, no way they can beat CHarlie Parker.

well yea thats true, the guy did write the number, but i just meant his improv was awsome, and mike trey and fish just flow through it like no other, not to mention they played it back in the eighties so that just goes to show how far that band came and how fast. i heard to original awhile ago and loved it but trey can just do some things on the guitar that no others really can come close to. but yea cp is the shit as well hehe
