Mike,

Excellent mewsic picks for this week's Farm Aid theme. I'm so glad Mary suggested this for us. So, far I've come across some excellent tunes to chair boogie to this morning. Have a great week, my friend!

You did a nice job, Mike, especially given that you took footage from the actual event! Good list!

Dang, I think I commented here, but I guess I'll have to come back to see if I did. Anyway, you have a great line up here girlfriend! Have a great night!

Enjoyed the young John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews (he has such a distinctive voice, although I couldn't figure out who the cowboy at the beginning of the video was). Willie Nelson is always a good choice. Nice song choices here. Hard to believe this organization was founded over 30 years ago, and there is still such need.
