Preliminary 2011 Lineup

Well…these next six months will go VERY fast.

Well done.
:medal

This is getting me very excited! Shaping up to be the besdt lineup I’ve seen yet.

Although I must admit my anxiety about the absence of Jerry Douglas’s name on the intital lineup. I am sure that he will appear soon enough, hopefully bringing both his band and AK+US.

If Sammy is the King of Telluride, then Jerry Douglas is his Duke of Dobro

All we need now is Greensky Bluegrass, Steve Martin, Dave Rawlings Machine, and a special reunion of MaGraw Gap…

and I am in Heaven! :slight_smile:

Jerry’s listed as a member of the House Band, though! :slight_smile:

Maybe Jerry could get J.COW for duets in 2011!!!? PULEEEEEZ? Find a gap in your D.Bros schedule for some 8745’ fesitivaaaaation in 2011! Hey, bring them along! :thumbsup (that’d be awesome!)

Well, looks as if I’m moving to Telluride in June with the rest of Nashville! :lol

Well Done Planet Bluegrass!!! :medal

Auntie Hope :festivarian2 :green

You can live with us Hope. For most of the month we have this nice little canvas cottage, conveniently located near the festival grounds. Maybe you’ve seen it? :evil :thumbsup

:lol

Oh, thank you, and tell Tessa and the kids the same, but I think the 'ole Hippo Campus Homestead is going to be in full swing this coming summer! Did ya hear??? Uncle Howard will be visiting for the first time in a long time and we have a flock of turtles taking the railroad to join us.

Now, if those Jailhouse Boys will let us borrow their oven y’all could bring over some cornmeal and we’ll get to dustin’ ya off a spot and cook up some cornbread, but watch out for those bootleggers on the way, ‘cause ya know they’re always looking out for more corn. It’s always a great day when your youngin’s plant some joy in meyer day and I love that you and Tessa are raisin’ them to be our TBF flamekeepers of the future.

Now, I know some of our younger folks are kind of decemberists, lovin’ that snow sports and all, but we really need more of our youth to get a summer bluegrass punch in the arm so they don’t fleck out on us. I know these two young men, Emmitt & Nershi, they started their own little house band and got the boat rowan with these other guys and let me tell you, Father O’Brien & Deacon Burke is a blessin’ them now! They really did turn out my-tee-fine!

The point is, my happy tye-dyed friend, your Auntie Hope is starting to silver hair out like like T-Tom’s beloved EmmyLou and really is only good to wander over yonder and string those youngin’s along for short stints at a time. Still love ya for the invite though! :kiss

Can’t wait to hear little Jo yell FESTIVVVAAALLL!!! Pinch 'em for me!

All My Love,
Auntie Hope

That was very impressive. :cheers

I second that! Pure poetry Auntie :headphones and music to my ears

:lol

:clap Hope.

Good Job Hope… That was great…

You’ve left me speechless, darling. And as most folks know, that’s not an easy accomplishment! I already loved you and knew you rocked, but now you’re elevating your game, moving into the upper echelon of wordplay, which (next to foreplay) is one of my favourite games.

Thanks for all you do, your kind words, and your love. Can’t wait to do it all over again!

Thanks to everyone for the compliments! It was a 20 minute end of the year slam dunk and I enjoyed writing it very much!

Happy Holidays and see ya at FESTIVVVAAALLL!!!

Should we be expecting some teaser announcements soon???

I hope so. I, for one, have been in the early stages of ramping up the frequency of my visits lately.

I think you missed the 'tease".

Planet Bluegrass posted a video on their Facebook page and there was another of the same band attached to the bottom of the last "Notes from the Planet".

Go check it out! by the way, eat much goat lately? :lol
