Jacob Scesney also refers to Haley as "Queen"

Greg sent me some pics

Great picture. Lots of great pictures lately.

That's who I meant. Methinks most of these guys and many of the women she is around are crushing on her bigtime. And a lot of them are in awe and totally intimidated by her. Though I imagine David Block might be thinking about asking her to come hang with him at Burning Man.

Tusk, it sounds like those of you that went to the show had a powerful experience.

I thought you meant Jacob Lusk

There's a chance there might be a final chapter to cap this particular experience off (speculation)

Dylan asked for some pics

I don't know whether Mark and Dylan felt uncomfortable singing in Casey's place, if their mike wasn't adjusted well enough for them to carry, or what, but they came across as tentative. Casey's never tentative!

This might be partly technical, from where I recorded the video, I could hear Mark, unfortunately, I was too close as to cause a buzz from the volume so I had to use Yanni's audio recorded from farther back (thnx Yanni #TeamHaleyFans)

I love how much Mark, Dylan, BC, etc. have taken Haley under their wing. I love getting all of these new performances





meh. I'll remove the mean part

[My Alter Ego]

but....BC's voice is terrible IMO, and Mark and Dylan aren't that much better....I know I know....

I'd certainly agree with you about BC Jean -- she should stick to song writing. Mark, and particularly Dylan, have been pleasant surprises. (That could be because my expectations had been so low, they had no where to go but up.) Dylan seems to know his way around his instrument -- and also he really seems to enjoy performing.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO ya caught me! I think I am just used to Casey and Haleys near perfect harmonies. The others...not so much. They are both great guitar players though, and like I said, it's nice to have them take her under their wing. BC's voice hurts my ears and I hope they never, ever sing HTRJ again. Ever.

Sorry, NUG. I saw your later remark after I'd posted mine... (And your name isn't in the quote. -- you didn't have to come forward )

Although I thought BC Jean was someone else the first time we heard her join in on HTRJ, I said then that she couldn't sing. (She's probably lucky that Beyonce did steal "her" song, which then became a big hit -- it wouldn't have with BC singing it!). I think Mark may use his guitar playing to compensate for what he lacks vocally.

But, as you said, neither Mark nor Dylan have Casey's confidence in singing harmony with Haley. (They also haven't been singing with her -- off and on -- for 3 years.) And, well, Caley -- is Caley!
