2008 Line Up is out

[jmac]

The line up is out!!!! Depending on your musical tastes, you will either love it or be somewhat disappointed. I personally was not overwhelmed with the lineup...hopefully as the late nite shows start getting released they will be better. I have been going to Jazzfest since '95...haven't missed a year and I will certainly attend this year...I couldn't see myself not in Nawlins during "fess season"...first weekend did little for me, 2nd weekend was ok...

Lets do some trading. I'll trade Billy and Sheryl for Stevie and Randy ??

I just saw the line-up for the 2 days I'm attending, May 2 and May 3. My eyes welled up with tears of joy when I saw STEVIE WONDER on Friday. I just couldn't get to any of his shows last year and I thought I'd missed my opportunity to catch him live. Bought my plane tickets 2 weeks ago. The stars have aligned! How am I going to get anything done between now and May when I've got this to look forward to????

The most diverse and appealing line up ever! If anyone can think of a better one, i'd love to see it.

Question: Because this is only my 2nd Fest, do acts like Billy Joel or Sheryl Crow play on the stages at the Fest or are they the night acts that you need to get additional tix for?

Everyone on the lists is at the Fest. Kind of hard to believe, isn't it!

I can't WAIT to see Elvis! I've seen him 4 times, 3 on his own and once with the Charles Mingus Orchestra! SO EXCITED!!!!!

I don't want to open "can of worms"...but '96, '99, '00, '02 & '06 blows away the '08 line up...some highlights".,,just my opinion...everyone has different tastes...but as long as the George, Art, Leo, Zig, Ivan, The Rads, PGF, Dr John, John Mooney, Subdudes, Nevilles, Jon, Cleary, etc...how can it be bad!!!
