Oh Brother, Where art thou 'cause we want to give you a great big hug!!!!!

WOW!!!!!! Yeeeeeee-Haaaaaaaw!!!!!!!!

Traditional Bluegrass and the unaccompanied wail of a 75 year old geezer blow both bulls#!t "Country" artists AND U2 off the stage! Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus and he plays the Dobro, chews tobakky and give his cousin more than a hen peck for a kiss.

As a champion of traditional wine styles with idiosyncratic and even downright funky flavors and textures, this gives me so much satisfaction I can hardly express it. I am picking out a care package of bodaciously old school wines to send to T-Bone Burnett along with one of our "Fighting Globalization in your Glass" editorials.

AND, I want to move to Utah where I can marry Alicia Keys, Nelly Furtado (who speaks and sings in Portugues and whose last name means "stolen") and India Arie all at once.

If music be the fruit of life, play on....Roberto
