Isn’t it time for the big tease to start?

You know what. He was just teasin us. He is not going to say a thing. Anybody else have heart burn?

He loves this…

Santa baby, leave somethin under the tree for me :flower

Ok, ok. You guys are right, I’ve been a touch distant.

We are very happy onsale went so well from computer standpoint and there’s still a bunch of tickets left, so we are glad that panic has calmed. I’m hat was important to us to achieve.

For “clues”, start with this.

Today’s RockyGrass lineup might whisper what’s not happening at Telluride.

Otherwise, let me reference face on mars list.

He’s only wrong by one on the “for certain”; but, 4 for 7 on the “at least half” lust.

Pretty good.

But we’ll soon see the “almost headliner” prediction is way off base.

(That good start, Luanda?)

What day ye, face… perhaps you’d guess again on who is certain and which 4?

We are psyched.

I’d say no Tim or no Peter for the for sures, and Greensky and ISD both play at Blue Ox the week before but neither have anything listed for this weekend. Probably not Emmylou, Allison Krauss, or John Cowan if I had to guess. But I love John Cowan. Maybe the Doobie Brothers will be the “not even close?” If I get that right do I get a free ticket for my 42nd TBF? :flower

Dusters will be back, I’m pretty sure. Greensky seems like an obvious choice, too. Same with EmmyLou and Del. That would be my 4 out of 7.

I’m intrigued to see that one if his “for certain” list won’t be there. Maybe Yonder has decided to take a break this year? Or maybe Jerry’s schedule has finally taken him away from Telluride like it so frequently threatens to do.

Other than that, I expect to see Salmon and The Smokies on the lineup this year.

I’ll have a serving of Smoked Salmon thank you! As far as Yonder, when is Allie’s baby due? That could play a factor in that. If Jerry D doesn’t come they need a fill-in dobro for House Band. I think either Tim O (since Hot Rize is on for RG) or Peter Rowan would be the other one if indeed YMSB does not come. Or maybe Edgar Meyer? who knows.
It won’t be Telluride without Sam, so he’s a shoo in.

Greg Brown is playing in Boulder on the Friday of TBF. Only date in the area. Hmmmm. Seen him in Telluride at the SOH, but I do not recall him at TBF. Married to Iris Dement who I do recall seeing at TBF. Which brings up in my mind, of course, John Prine, who has been on an every other year appearance with TBF. I am liking that set up!

But really, Billy Strings, RRE, Brothers Comatose, Smokies, Dusters, Greensky all on my wish list. That Lil Smokies, Brothers Comatose, Mipso Campfire Caravan Tour this fall was exceptional!

My last thought. The Avett Brothers are playing early this year at RR. Would love to see them at TBF again. I know they are out on the expensive end and a big draw, but Jim Avett and his sons released a gospel album that they played some of at Red Rocks last summer and it would be nice for the gospel set and maybe not as expensive. I say just go for a headliner slot for the Avetts.

Billy STrings would be awesome! He needs to play the box canyon!

Yes I agree! Billy Strings is totally on my Christmas wish list.

Love the speculation re John Prine and oh wow, we saw Iris Dement recently in Australia, what a voice.

And Ferg, FOM has Alison Krauss on his list, please make me happy, I would so love to finally see her and Union Station ( not sure if I have said this before?)

Oh, I’m barely able to sit still, is it next week yet?

Well hello Sugar, nice to see you back. You were the first person who told me about Greensky. Super hero.

Changed my life.

I really hope to see The Smokies again ( have they dropped the little??)

:flower

Nice to know Sam will be there. :lol

I am wondering if what Ferg was listening to “A prairie home companion this by with b la and Abby”
Is any other hint?
It would have had to been a podcast or previous show as today 12/16 is the next live APHC.

Hi Ferg. Where ya been :cow

Hummmm. Only wrong by 1 on the for certain list… this is gonna bug me all day. :flower

I know right. Every word uttered(get it :cow) could be a clue
He is good at this game. Drives me nuts but in a good way :lol

And another thing…

Leftover Salmon has been confirmed since last year and I’m pretty sure that was even in the program!

Festanegligence?

:slight_smile:

Tomorrow tomorrow I love ya tomorrow it’s only a day away!

Hummmm. :flower

HEARTBURN CITY BATMAN! :lol Pickin through this list. :lol

Thank you Ferg! :thumbsup :cheers :cheers

So happy about this! I was bummed they weren’t there last year on my first year back in 7 years. Glad I’ll get to catch them this time around.

Smart move! It was a VERY noticeable hole in every aspect of the festival last year. They bring the party to the people! :cheers

The more I see the less I know for sure
