News on Jerry Douglas

[dnewgent]

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry! What about Edgar, Stuart and Bryan!

My bet is that Jerry will fly in Sunday morning to join the HB for the closing set.  I doubt anything would keep him from making at least one day of the fest.  It is a shame that he won't be available to sit in the other days.

[HuckinFappy]

Y'all are making me sad now.    Us computer geeks give our computer names, and my main workstation (through several different machines) has been named 'flux' for over a decade now.   The years I had full backstage access working for the Planet, some days the only set I'd be in the poser pit for was Jerry.   One of the best sets *ever* was the first year he had Omar with him (when they let Omar sit on the front corner where we could see him...who the hell stuck him in back the next year, anyway?). 

When i told Tessa Jerry might not be there, she said "Well, I guess I'll take the kids and you can stay home to work.  No Allison, and no Jerry?   No reason for you to go!".

That's a little bit of an exaggeration, but...but...No Flux set?   I don't get my annual Fluxitation?   No chance of a Fluxgasm?   

If anyone needs me, I'll be in recluse until further notice.

   One of the best sets *ever* was the first year he had Omar with him (when they let Omar sit on the front corner where we could see him...who the hell stuck him in back the next year, anyway?). 

I adored that set. Omar Hakim is very likely the most talented drummer I've ever had the good fortune to see. That first year with Jerry, Omar and Victor was absolutely killer. The next year was fun, too, but Jerry had to promote his new album. That fist year felt much more free and spontaneous.

Oh, I just have to put an end to the misery.


Of course Jerry will be at Telluride!


And, I doubt it's just for one set!

Now back to the rest of the lineup...

[jlarsp]

Ferg, you made me laugh and made my day!

[FaceOnMars]

Jerry on 1/4 of the days is much better than Jerry on 0/4 days!

Just goes to show how much of an MVP he is to the festival.

[Hot Sugar]

This is fantastic news! I couldn't picture the festival without his involvement. Thanks for the update, Ferg!

[HuckinFappy]

Thanks Craig, I can sleep better tonight!   

[BuckeyeDog]

Thank you Craig! You made everyone's day a little brighter with that news.

 Listening to: Chris Thile--Leaves Fall

Thank you Craig! You made everyone's day a little brighter with that news.

Now really you folks are too easy. Do you really think JD would not be at Fest. Not for one minute! It just would not be the same Fest

As much as we love to hear them each Summer, I think the Artist look forward to seeing us all in Tride just as much.

Telluride is an experience for all of us on stage and off. Is it June yet? Can we start the count down TTom and HEY stop lashin out at me already. Now take off your shirt and you know what to do.

Monday and hey JD is a definite yes....this is gonna be an outstanding day

This is great news!  And, oh God...  Can I hope and dream that we might see Willie this year?  I've *always* wanted to see Willie!!!
