I agree...pickin' & paddlin' is great! I am a music-head so I enjoy jubilee jam. The allstars did a great job on the friday of this year's jam.. Robert Randolph's set on Saturday was nuts...lots of fun.

St. Patty's is probably hands-down my favorite, but Crossroads is becoming a close second. Another one you left off the list is Jacktoberfest, which I assume and hope is coming back for a 3rd run this year.
