I almost posted that same poll, but then decided not to. Good to see someone else on the same wave!  Wave  Wink

I voted... and suggested they combine their tally with the Allman Bros. since they are playing together this summer... Hey! That totals them over Dave Matthews! Whoooo!!  strong

Back to packing I go... Whip

I love both of those bands, the Allmans, Cornmeal, Derek Trucks, etc. Frankly those votes don't mean much to me - I want RRE to do well but I don't care how that unscientific poll pans out.  Thumbs Up

Widespread paid a lot of dues to get to where they are. As Frank S. would say "they did it their way." Right on.

Yes, DSO & Keller have several (okay, five I think) shows scheduled together this summer..

oh nice, DSO really has grown in the music world as an accepted cover band.  Can't believe the big things they're doing... though they are pretty good

Wanna hear something sorta funny?
I was hanging out with a couple of the DSO guys (Rob Eaton & Rob Borraco) after their recent Tempe show and just so happened to be wearing a Keller shirt (the brown one with KW on the front).. Anyhoot we were chatting over drinks and Eaton asked me "What does KW mean??"  huh

~I found that kinda humorous..  LOL 


PS.. RRE has moved up to second place with 14% guys.. KEEP IT UP!!! ~ Oh and I was able to vote again today.. Apparently they let you vote once a day..
