I thought I was fortunate to find Phish and all that it is and comes with it at the ripe age of 17. That was the Summer of 2000. Today as I enjoy the writing of a current 17 year old, with 13 shows under the belt, it makes me smile as only Phish can...

I have a 5 year old who was disappointed just as much as anybody about Curveball... Because his two favorite things in life are Phish and Jamming to Them, and Playing Baseball.. What I am getting at is that my Father shared his "Love of Music" with me, and I have in his very short life shared "The Love of Phish" with my son.

If this band is still playing in 12 years when my son is celebrating the summer he turns 17, I hope I am on show 100 and counting and he is hovering right around your mark. Great writing and thanks for making this old head feel like a young Phan touring for the 1st time again. Enjoy the ride.

Phish is DEFINITELY the best thing I attached myself to at that age...
