The lineups for both JazzFest weekends were announced on Wednesday. Since I will be attending the 2nd, I will miss The Meters, Dr. John Allen Toussaint, Snooks Eaglin, Sonny Landreth (who conspired to keep me from seeing Sarah Borges at the Iron Horse), etc., but will get to see Fats Domino (very cool), Jimmy Buffett, Paul Simon (maybe), Robert Randolph, Marsha Ball, The Radiators (saw them at Tipitina's in 1989), Irma Thomas. And more!!! Gumbo and I have vowed (yes, we actually vowed) to take in lots of the lesser known stuff, particularly gospel, which is VERY cool live.First Weekend
