The Best of Jackson was a great success thanks to all those folks who put forth hard work in planning and execution. Very special thanks to Jackson State University for showing us their beautiful campus. Be sure to sign up for the JFP Daily in order to get the invitation for next year.

Who wants to hear an young 11-year-old female singing Iron Maiden? Thought so. This is Sara and her band Motion Device nailing a cover of "The Trooper." As Todd Rundgren says, "Get those headphones on and crank 'em up!"
