Wanna Wanee?

My favorite band (The Allman Brothers Band), like many of their contemporaries, holds their own music festival every year in Live Oak, Fl, called Wanee.  The line up this year is killing me...

The Allman Brothers Band (April 20 & 21), Furthur (April 20 & 21), Gov't Mule, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band, Buddy Guy, Bruce Hornsby, Mickey Hart Band, Hot Tuna Electric, Ray Manzarek & Roy Rogers Band, Leftover Salmon, North Mississippi Allstars, Trigger Hippy (Joan Osborne, Jackie Greene, Steve Gorman, Audley Freed, Nick Govrik), Soja, Conspirator, Eoto,Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, Particle, Devon Allman's Honeytribe, Zach Deputy, Matt Schofield, Bobby Lee Rodgers Trio, Big Sams Funky Nation, Charles Bradley, Bonerama, Jacob Jeffries Band, The Yeti Trio, Bonnie Blue

I have seen the brothers probably 10 times now.. and Mule probably 6 times.. and Tedeschi and Trucks about 4 times (separately when they were not in a band together).  Hot Tuna and Leftover Salmon a few times, and Buddy Guy (the greatest living performer and the greatest living bluesman) probably 10 times and I finally got to see Further (latest incarnation of the Grateful Dead) this past fall.   Needless to say, I am HUGE fans of almost everyone playing..  I really doubt I can go, but man, what a strong line up.  That is going to be one FUN fest.
