Dead duck

It was pretty packed compared to a month earlier when we were there. Don’t think it was sold out tho

Gotta think the Seahawks are gonna end up w/Baker being they ignored QB completely. Or Jimmy G? Or they are just gonna be gawd awful and tank w/the Geno/Lock combo. Lol

Went to see JRaD in Newport KY last night. Was a good time. A few times they would play a long intro jam before dropping into this or that song and I really enjoyed those. Was my first time seeing them live. I like that little venue. Was the same one DSO played a month ago

We’re being confused w/someone else man. We didn’t get on the DSO bus til after ledges days. Still be good to see ya though

One of the few shows both boys will attend with me this summer. After that most shows I’ll just have one or the other. Lol

Saw Elton John at the YUM yesterday. Luke bought those tix when he was 16 and he’ll be 20 in Sept. it was postponed twice, he finally got his show. He played a straight 2:40 set no break. I was dying for set break by like 9:15but realized by quarter of ten that he was just gonna power through. He said his farewell tour is over 200 shows in, but he still has over 120 left. That’s a helluva long tour. Lol

Me and luke went to see “live at the Fillmore” ABB tribute last night. It was good. Solid show if they come round you. Been a long time and I missed seeing that music played.

This is the first March madness since I was probably 9 that I didn’t fill out a bracket. And it’s without a doubt the best I’ve done gambling wise on a tournament ever. Gonna be hard to bet against UNC, they’ve brought me in some green winning as underdogs since rd 2 or 3. UNC/Kansas should be a hell of a game. To bad I’ll likely be asleep before it starts. Lol

I was dumb enough to be in the bowl. Super flooded an moving never even crossed our minds even tho the whole field was totally open and moving to higher ground would have been simple, we just didn’t think of it. Eventually one of our neighbors asked “why didn’t you guys just move” and my cousin and I just looked at other like “we never thought of it” 🤣😆

Saw Bobby last night in Nashville Indiana in a venue the size of a high school orchestra hall. Was pretty awesome. He was chatty and engaging, was a real good energy all night. 2nd set was the best I’ve seen Bobby in years. set 1 music>Easy answers>music>standin on shaky ground>music Mission in the rain Ten Jed althea hard rain Mama tried lovelight set 2 Easy to slip throwing stones UJB>Supp>UJB He’s gone watchtower Wharf rat sugar mag E. Saturday night Bobby was acoustic on Hard rain and easy to slip The addition of Jeff and the strings and horns was nice

We will be there. If you need to turn the back of the truck into an overnight weather escape or anything it’s yours. 😉

I see my home base from whatever year that was. Lol

I’m a late night bluegrass fan too Doc. I do agree with Rude that galactic and boombox are also best slotted late night, but I’ll take yonder and Rumpke for my preference. Rumpke late night is music festival bliss for me. Those boys will play til the sun comes up the next day if you let them. Down at terrapin hill farm, sunrise at the top o the hill, Rumpke still playin even tho their official set ended over 4 hours ago, boys asleep back in the tent somewhere 🤣😆 special memories. one year I think Marco Benevento played electric late night back when we still had double stages. Recall him wailing on keys in a giant Panda head. Or maybe none of that actually happed 🤔🤔 and maybe year 2, I think on Sunday night, the werks closed down the jubilee instead of it ending after DSO. I remember really liking the light show from back at camp *disclaimer all of the specific details of this message are subject to being misremembered due to hard livin. Lol

I never saw a DSO ledges show, and never a TN show either. One of my biggest regrets in life is not finding this band til I did in ‘12. Damn kids (and ex) knocked me off touring for about 14 years. Lol. From 98-2012 I stayed mostly local and just saw Bobby and Phil or ABB when they came close. I was going to see blues clues on ice and shit, Scooby Doo and Dora the explorer at the Palace in Louisville (separately of course)🤣 But when I came back to the road the boys started coming with me and the rest is history but that gap will haunt me forever especially when I hear you guys reminisce of shows from preDuck times Lol

They are in Louisville in Feb. plan is to go although I have to work inventory the next morning at 6. Lol so if I go I won’t be getting to wild

I may do the blue Ox fest this year. It’s mostly or all bluegrass in Wisconsin. Bela Fleck with a kickass bluegrass lineup, Del, Sam Bush, Rumpke. If nothing better pops up on those dates it’s a solid maybe

I was camped directly on the field side of those guys that year. The boys still bring it up and we all laugh and agree that was one of our least favorite neighbors. 2nd to one of the first years I took the boys (year 3 maybe) and we had camp nitrous right next door. Luckily we are all super heavy sleepers 🤣😆

We camped at the end of shakedown street because I’d never been there and didn’t know where to set up. The grateful gangsta’s next to us had drama and provided entertainment and bad vibes all weekend. Lol people would reach the end of shakedown street and walk into my camp like “what you sellin” and I was like “nuthin, just chillin here in the river” Lol and I remember megaphone guy 🤣😆😆

Where’d you find a pic of my jubilee outfit? That shit was supposed to be a secret 🤣😆

I did t even take a tent. Just an EZ up and a chair. Our camp hardcore flooded and everything on the ground got washed away and we had to go hunt it down. We had a river running over our feet and a neighbor came by and asked why we didn’t move camp. It honestly never even crossed our mind. Lol anyways bought DSO and JRAD tix for Newport today and jubilee too. Starting to put dates on calendars. Love to see it. ❤️

I’ve never been but looks to be a good time. Go for it. Gotta make the most outa not having adult supervision 😆

So many good ones. I won’t say favorite but one of mine that always stands out is the 02-06-13 show at the buskirk chumley. Partially stands out because it was acoustic but I got so many 1sts (I’d only been seeing them a year or so at that point) but Lisa sang Chimes, got my first ever Reuben and Cherise and was blindsided by it not expecting it acoustic. Also was eating some edibles I had made for a friend that was going thru Chemotherapy. I made them to basically just put knock him out and I was flopping around and crying all over the place up in the balcony that night 🤣😆 I love hearing all these stories especially the first show stories that describe that one feeling at that first moment when we all realized that there was something this special still going on. ✌️

A cooler of beer rode shotgun. Kids in the back. Was just how it was. Lol

Never drew water from a well, hunted ginseng or personally plucked a chicken. I did most/all of the others. Hillbilly AF I know. Lol
