Ç¤®îånN	Jun 10 2008 1:31 AM The show on Saturday was an anthology of musical gems. I really enjoyed the acoustic sets. Steph, your voice blows me away during 'Hello Hooray'. You all sing and play your instruments with such enthusiasm and love, and it shows. To Jake: Can't you see, he's the man. Let me hear you applaud. He is more than a man, he's a shiny golden god... Much Love. Cori Ann
