BEST Jam EVER

And I'm not talking about Smuckers.

This evening, we plan to cross another Best Summer Ever To-Do off the list by heading out to WolfTrap to see Tea Leaf Green (opener) and Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers (headliner). In doing so, we'll combine three of our favorite things: music, the outdoors, and wine. Besides, it gives us an excuse to leave work at a reasonable time to make it out there.

Generally when you go to see a concert, you go for the Headliner. Not this time. The primary reason we want to attend tonight's concert is to see Tea Leaf Green, an awesome San Fran jam band. Music aside, how could you not like a band with that name? I like tea. I like leaves. And green is easily my favorite color. Oh, and as for the music, if you haven't heard them before, they're a mighty stellar jam band. And the chill WolfTrap ambiance is perfect for their sound.

Don't get me wrong. Bruce Hornsby, who was a part-time member of the Grateful Dead in the early 90s, is sure to be nothing short of spectacular. Which means I'll do everything in my power to refrain from yelling my standard, "Play Casey Jones, play Casey Jones."



Looks like rain is in the forecast, but if the meteorologists are as accurate as they generally tend to be, we'll be seeing sunny skies.

Happy jammin'!
