Bonnaroo ReCap

Well kids, we survived Bonnaroo, and I DO mean survived! 85000 people camped out refugee style(absolutely no exaggeration) although our camp was the Taj Mahal thanks to Bev's sister Andy. Heat, 90+ humidity+mud+bugs like tics, fleas, mosquitos and many more...only added to our sense of accomplishment when we reached a venue to hear live and mostly up close to: Conan O'brien's first schtick after NBC let him go, so funny, Umphrey's McGee, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band-awesome, Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers who finished the set with ...KING TUT!, the Kings of Leon, Norah Jones, wow, The Avett Bros (my boys), a little John Prine followed by Stevie Wonder-A-mazing, Jay-Z (just testin ya, you know I wasnt there for that one, we just listened from our tent...2 miles away!) Then Jamie Johnson, John Fogerty doing CCR and his own stuff(whatever, just stick to Green River-goose bumps for me) btw, Kris Kristopherson is an amazing songwriter-duh, but singing and playing guitar and harmonica...not so much) but it was sooo cool, then Zac Brown-made us proud to be C&W Fans.The the finale-Dave Mathews, wow, the drummer was absolutely amazing-my highlight of Roo!(btw, I think that "peanuts'" Pig-Pen must have attended Roo at some time. His dance method was adopted by yours trully. It stretched out your back and when the music gets real funky, you only have to throw a "lean back" to the beat and you are in baby, I just hope there wasnt a cloud of dust with me but I cant be sure and really didnt care at that point. So as I lay in bed with the AC blarin' at this fine Motel, waiting to go to the airport, I can only think of the tunes, they were great,,,, oh ya, and the thought...there's no place like home,there's no place like home, there's no place like home...zzzz Aunti Em, Auntie Em!
