Alejandro Escovedo
Nick Lowe

I’ve seen Toussaint play at some small venues and with Elvis Costello at the NOLA Jazz Fest. Very entertaining.

Don’t see him for the line up this year. But he has on occasions just shown up and played with others.

09 Jazz Fest Line Up if interested.

Any entertainer that is a leftist I do not go and see or purchase their cd’s or movies.

You're not alone!

They get NO MORE of my money or my family's money. Not a movie, CD, concert, TV show, magazine, or Internet click.

We started our pop-culture ban in September. We're on month four and none of us miss it. Actually, it's rather fun and we've got a lot more cash than we did before.

The Eagles and they WERE GREAT!

The Eagles played 4 sold out shows near Atlanta, and they played each night well past the first encore.

Well worth the tickets, which were expensive.

I saw Leon Russell 15-20 years ago at a very small venue. He sat behind a skirted table and played his keyboard we guess.

Fact was he never moved. We weren’t sure he was even alive!

Nick Lowe played a solo/acoustic set. Still, well-crafted songs sound great in any context.

Les Dudek
Vince Gill

I think it’s funny seeing people mention that they saw Rush this year. I saw them in about 1974! :)

The Bad Livers are back?

Is Mark still in the band?

Are the keyboards out of the band?
