Preliminary 2012 lineup

[3boobykins]

That's awesome!  Can you get Noam Pikelny to play with his new band too?  Just wishin'...

I'm personally hoping Noam makes his vocal debut at the festival, particularly some of the vocals he had to cut from his solo album.

  Did you see the mocumentery of Naom & Steve Martin?

That's exactly what I was referencing when I mentioned the cut vocals...

u ready for an ear full of turd?

Very excited to see Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas. Also Leftover Salmon.

If they're taking requests I'd sure like to see Iron & Wine make or visit.

Also, we've been very much digging Bluegrass Revival. Which since I understand was partially Bela & Sam, might not be that hard to pull off????

I looked at the album cover for Bluegrass Revival (at least one of them). Judging from their hair in the photo, I'd say that album was from the early to mid eighties. So maybe putting Bluegrass Revival back together is not such a reasonable proposition...

Maybe your brain is focused too much on the fact that it's the Telluride Bluegrass Festival than on your research, cause the group I think you're referring to was called "Newgrass Revival".

[ponchom1]

Hey Tom, right. Newgrass Revival!

And specifically, the song that comes to mind is "Vamp in the Middle."

I could probably start a new thread on this one, but I have yet to figure this song out.

Anyone know what Vamp in the Middle means?

 Listening to: Robots...

[johnny]

Fairly sure on both of these statements:

It's a John Hartford song

a vamp in the middle is a place for a short (fiddle) break.  so there's a quick fiddle solo between "i wrote this song, with a vamp in the middle"  (quick fiddle solo)   "and i knew when i wrote it, that i wrote it for the fiddle"

 Listening to: john hartford

[Matt]

If you like NGR's version you should definitely check out John Hartford's album "Aereoplaine."  You might here some other songs you recognize.

[ponchom1]

Nice, I'm definately going to have to check that out.

Can I reserve a seat for Alison Krauss w/ Jerry who, please.  Was that Douglas' birthday year where he played every possible show throughout the weekend?  Please, repeat.  Bruce Hornsby brings a real good vibe.  Obrien's Party of Seven's gonna have to CRUSH IT, and they will, to heighten the vibe the way only T.O. can, and six adjacent Crushers.  Sam Bush (I thought the strong smiley was bowing in reverential awe.  Though for the sake of completing thought, did you notice the ways in which Edgar Meyer, Jerry Douglas, and of course Bela, post African Study, where playing in the unique ways Bela had changed, Sam took a bit longer to catch on, I hope He's practicing his chops, and playing with the ineffable and humble Bela Fleck.  Imagine being lead by a banjo, how humbling.  That said, I can't do it yet.)   Excuse Me Mr. just rang on by Ben Harper, who could come back sooner than later, mental relocate to other post.  WHo are my Young Guns of choice, I'm waiting to see!  Excellent Work again PB, must be good work.

 Listening to: BoB Marley - One Love, JJ Cale - Magnolia, Lynard Skynard - Simple Man, Jerry G. - Think

OK, just thought about it and realized there is a 1 in a million chances the stars might align for those of us craving even a small morsel (not to say having Bruce isn't anything out of alignment), but perhaps arrangments are being worked out for something such as:

Bob Weir and Bruce Hornsby have added a second date together. The pair will now perform two shows at the Fox Theater in Oakland, CA, taking place on March 31 and April 1. Bob Weir and Bruce Hornsby have logged some time on the road together in the past, first in the Grateful Dead from 1990-92 and later in the Other Ones from 1998 and 2000. At the upcoming shows, the old friends will share a bill as well some on-stage moments. The evenings at the Fox Theater are titled “Bob Weir & Bruce Hornsby Alone and Together.” Tickets for first night are sold out, while tickets for the newly announced show will soon be available through GDTSTOO. Presale begins on January 12 at 10AM with the general on sale set for January 13 at 10AM.

[Iriecycle]

If Bob is coming please don't advertise.  He's shy about that, LOL, actually grinning.

 Listening to: Eek a Mouse, now Ini Kamoze

[FaceOnMars]

Haven't actually met him, but he does seem to be a bit reserved from what I can gather.

Even if advertised, could see it flying under the radar a bit more ... or at least not attract the same level of interest from ticketless fans as would furthur or a larger ensemble.

[landshark]

Stop it! You guys are drivin me nut's. The what if's I mean I drivin me crazy!

Car 54 where are youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu  
Please put an end to this madness.
