Yim @ Newport Folk

[ALady]

Here's my tentative schedule (reposted from elsewhere).  Hope Saturday is helpful to you, YYac!  :)

Saturday:
Nneka (have been waiting to see since missing her at SXSW)
Bondy/Trappers (could go either way, will be seeing both in the next few months. Bondy will undoubtedly put on the better set but I do like to support my Trappers)
Brandi Carlile (have heard excellent things about her Roo set from several sources)
Calexico/Yim Yames (worst conflict ughhhh. Will be seeing Yim earlier in the week and lots this fall but...possibility of special guests and....just....ughhhhh. Haven't seen Calexico since November '08 :()
Dawes (have just been getting into, looking forward to finally checking out)
John Prine (have been wanting to see forevs)

Sunday:
Cory Chisel (have heard good things)
Punch Brothers (have just been getting into, looking forward to finally checking out)
Avetts/Preservation Hall (probably Avetts because they are AMAZING and I've seen PH a number of times this year already, but if Jim sits in...)
Richie Havens/Felice Brothers/Ben Sollee & Daniel Martin Moore (think I gotta go Richie Havens? Haven't seen Felice Bros in a while, though they are always excellent.  Will be seeing Ben Sollee/Daniel Martin Moore earlier that week and have seen them both recently)
Justin Townes Earle (love, love love)
Levon Helm (words cannot express, haven't seen him since ACL last year, suspect the special guests will be off the hook)

I can't believe Andrew Bird overlaps a bit with Yim.  If I was going, that would have really bummed me out.

[Bigsky]

and used to think they were called "mommy's morning jacket"

That's too funny...my little girl would call them "Your Morning Jacket," because I was saying My Morning Jacket...I had to teach her how to say it.

I wish I could hit the NPFF...but I'm starting to run low on funds for concerts and I want to keep my options open for NYE...you never know if the bous will rock MSG again.

Kinda bummed to see only one hour for Yim.  I'll be in my car six times longer than he'll be on stage.  Hope for a stellar setlist.  Hmmmmmmmm.

At Dawn
Wonderful
Losin Yo Head
It Beats 4 U w/A. Bird whistle solo finish
Bermuda Highway
Anytime
Master's Voice
What A Wonderful Man
The Right Place
Smokin'
All the Best w/J. Prine

Already have more than an hour, lots of wishful thinking, and many more gems missing.  Plus, might be time to debut some new material for that solo album that's right around the corner.

[johnnYYac]

Okay, time for a poll.  For the set between Yim Yames and John Prine, which would you choose?

A.  Andrew Bird

B.  Doc Watson

C.  Dawes

I'll tally responses once we get some, say next week.

[ALady]

If you haven't seen Bird before, you should.

I guess it depends on the mood you are in when the time comes.  That's a wonderful selection right there.

out of respect

A Bird is kind of boring (although YY might play w/him) and I don't know Dawes but it's a silly band name.

[johnnYYac]

So far, one vote each for Bird, Watson, and Dawes.  Hmmmmmmmmm.  

Keep 'em coming.  I need a tie-breaker.

Can I vote twice? Dawes.

that was supposed to be interpreted as a light hearted booo.  

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

Time for a bump on this thread, the next of my Yim Yames experiences to come.

Just saw the "cubes"- who's performing when (see below)- and would like some feedback.  I'm doing NFF primarily for YY, then John Prine, and I'm only going Saturday.  Any suggestions on who else I should check out?

Go see Sarah Jarosz if you get there early enough..... she's really good.
