i wish they would let you bring parrots into bonnaroo
I'm not sure if it was "allowed" but there was a guy with a parrot on his shoulder in Centeroo. Saw him at the filtered water station one day. I do not like birds and therefore kept an eye on him to make sure that sucker stayed on his shoulder.

^ I'm pretty sure that guy is there every year? Or at least he was last year, when I get home tonight I will post the picture of him and his bird that I got on the way out of Jimmy Buffet

I saw that guy last year. This year I was told that he claims it's a service animal and brings it every year. I never heard of a service parrot, but it's pretty cool if it's true.
We gave some guy at a nearby camp a beer and he gave me a fishing reel. Super ground score.
Whats up guys. I am sorry I haven't really been around much and really distant myself from the board for a bit. Between work and personal stuff going on (moving, health, break-up) I really haven't been all motivated to do much with the board, and with that, I do apologize. I do plan on being here on the board like the good old days.
Speaking of moving, I am no longer in Jersey, so I guess I should change it, but not sure what. I could go back to LIguy, but I am not living on Long Island for the moment, even though that is my place of birth. Feel free to blurt stuff out for ideas and it is good to be back home.

Him? I'd be more worried about the owner than the parrot

Larry Graham and Graham Central Station at BB King's was one of the greatest parties I have ever attended. It exceeded my already high expectations, by a LOT. And that was all way before they played "The Jam" at the end... for IDK, 20 minutes? 30? What day is it? Time didn't exist in that room, on that train tonight. The Jam is the kickass GCS song that everyone gets featured solos. One of my all time favorite GCS songs, a total party... so, of course the band all rocked the hell out of their turns... followed by a string of about a dozen special guests doing their thing on an array of instuments, including Larry's former partner in crime, original drummer Gregg Errico from Sly and the Family, and then this amazing older woman came out holding a bright red guitar. No clue who she was, but she looked somewhere around 70... and she rocked one of the sickest guitar solos I have EVER heard. She is possibly the coolest grandmother alive. And if that wasn't enough, suddenly, out walks this short little man with a guitar to help bring The Jam to a close. He was wearing huge black sunglasses and a white suit.
Prince.
No spotlight on him, no sparkles, just a dull blue guitar and a solid, not flashy, solo. Just another talented man up there Jammin' with the band on The Jam. But upon his appearance, lot of people in the club suddenly jumped up and actually danced ON the tables and chairs. The crowd went wild. I wish I had my camera. Everyone up on stage together rocking the roof off the sucker, like 18 of'em, including Prince, one of the coolest things I've ever seen. The whole place was just drenched with sweat. The awesome sticky sexy kind.
Larry played non-stop for 2 hours and 40 minutes, and when all was said and done, well, I'm now firmly convinced that Larry Graham is the greatest bassist alive. And he is absolutely without a doubt, the coolest.
These guys would OWN The Other Tent, Saturday, 2011 1-4AM
Superfly really needs to get on that. That's all I kept thinking all night long. Superfly NEEDS to get on this.
I promised my friend tonight that I'd upload a few albums for her. If anyone here has never heard Graham Central Station and you're curious, or if you just don't have any of their albums and want a few, feel free to drop me a PM for the links. You WON'T be disappointed. If they played shows more often, I would absolutely follow them on the road. I was a very lucky person to be there tonight. I must have done something really awesome to deserve it.

I saw that macaw at John Prine on a guy's shoulder; they were watching from the viewing platform by the soundboard.
Not sure if it's the same bird that lordrockinhood posted or not as I didn't get a good look at the guy... the bird was very colorful though.
^^How awesome! But why on earth did you not have a camera?!?!
I don't know , when I woke up in the morning and left for work, I was planning to go to a fabric store to get new curtains on the way home, maybe stop at Manna for a chicken gyro dinner. But then the next thing I knew, all the rest happened and my camera was home lying on the floor of my bedroom
I'm afraid I might cry if I saw Prince. And I would love a link to some GCS music
I just quit my job at Ruby Tuesdays. Worked there just over a month, back on the hunt starting NOW.... I just needed something to help out with Bonnaroo, lol.
