But out of the festivaaaaaal lineup I would have to say that I cannot just pick one. I love them all  Dr. Love Festivarian

I can't bring it down to three because of the "regulars" and "newcomers."

Three I'm looking forward to seeing...

Solomon Burke
Emmitt-Nershi Band
The McCourys at the Sheridan

If anything, I'm stoked about the Sheridan Nightgrass lineup, as I'll be there
every night.  :)
