The stage-workers saw your beautiful blue eyes and couldn’t refuse your set list request! You are the master at acquiring set lists ❤️🎸💯

Hi Jessica: I just got the Jazzfest lineup, and I'm not stoked at all. Cranky old boomer here! Top line artists: Ed Sheeran, Mumford & Sons, Lizzo, Dead & Co., the Lumineers...yeesh, at least not for Jazzfest. You've gotta go to the small print to find the regional acts that belong at Jazzfest, where it's OK to spend the entire weekend in the Gospel Tent. It was mo' fun chasing around Eddie Bo and Ernie K. Doe while the tourists gathered at Santana (here again 2023).

I love this remarkable, and I think historic, setlist. Such a treasure, and you annotate and honor it beautifully.

Thanks for the signal boost! I really appreciate it! :)

Years ago, I was a crew chief at my airline. One of my jobs was assigning relief coverage when people were absent. It got to the point where I would just ask the guys what night they were planning to go to Bluesfest (and the BrewFest, when there was still just the one), so I could cover the next morning ahead of time.
