Just thought I'd revisit this thread with a big shout-out and thanks to Dylan for posting it and making me think about the questions. Never really occurred to me to think about what song I'd really like to hear, but realizing that I had never heard a Good Lovin' at Lockn' before made me really want to hear it.

What an incredible wish fulfillment JRAD provided on Friday night! Not just an awesome Good Lovin' set opener, but topped off with a Good Lovin' jam reprise at the end! Amazeballs!

I was joking and have had great interactions with "Phans". But some just rub me the wrong way. I enjoy Phish, just not as hardcore as most

Hey Bub, we have been going on and off to the Philadelphia Folk Festival since the late 80s. Sometimes for the day and sometimes for the whole festival. Good time and run very well.
