Bonnaroo Wishlist: To see what it's all about!
Look forward to meeting new people, learning more about music and enjoying life!
This will be my third straight Bonnaroo, and plan to go it alone this time. Hopefully before I go I will have plenty of people I look forward to meeting once I get there. I have been lurking on the board for a couple years and have posted some, but I plan to be more active between now and June.
In 2010 I went with a friend and we had a blast but one year was enough for him. Last year I took my Daughter who is a senior at Alabama. That was wonderful but by Sunday morning she was dragging and I did not have the heart to dragger her around all day. So we left and missed many bands I wanted to see. I am so glad we were able to experience Bonnaroo together.
This year it’s all me, I make all the desions. That could be trouble. haha

Dave is such an awesome performer, I really hope he gets added. I've seen a few coincidences that give me hope! Welcome!
Me Too!!
There has been a change in his band. Lost tow of the girls and they are replaced by two other ladies. It will take a while to Jell. He has a new up right Bass played and the Fiddle player is gone and there is no fiddle player any longer.
