The Loyal LoSer Survey Results -- TA DA!!

This LoSer survey was taken in early March 1997 by eric-of-multiverse.
55 LoSers responded (out of a total of around 260).  Unfortunately, the
mothership came for eric before he was able to finish the compilation, so 
that was done by "Leftover Dad."  To properly interpret the results, one must 
bear in mind that LoSers represent <1% of Leftover Salmon's fans and are a 
"special" group with a "special" need -- to type electronic messages to people 
(most of whom they've never met) rather than getting a "real" life! <grin>

4. How did you first hear about Leftover Salmon?

from my sister who gave me Ask The Fish (thanks Vannessa!! you rule!!) 
friend/tapers
Saw 'em open for WSP when they played my school last oct. i'm not a big 
wsp fan but the boys blew the panic away that night. bought atf the next day 
and been hooked since.
I'm not quite sure, but I think it was over the net on another discussion 
group... or I just saw it on someone's tapelist and thought it looked interesting.
From a friend of mine who's been listening to them for years. 
I really don't have a clear memory... through friends...
Saw them on someones tapelist and thought the name was cool! 
through daily  reading of r.m.phish. I decided to go see LoS on a 
whim.
I really don't recall. I wish I did, cuz I'd thank them 10x over! 
I was going to MerleFest last year and a friend of mine said they were 
really good, so we went to their set. 
From friends who convinced to me to go to a festival at La Hood park here 
in Montana
I think it was a small piece on the boys in relix...went out and picked up 
Ask the Fish and was hooked
A friend I was trading Phish tapes with insisted on giving me a LoS tape in 
one of our trades. I have thanked him many times. 
Um, they played at the South Main Cafe in Blacksburg when I was at 
Radford, couldn't make it but made their second DC show after I moved back 
home. 
From my brother 
they were at a small bar in Ann Arbor, MI called the Blind Pig. It was a 
friends birthday so we all decided to go there, we love music....and the name 
was funny.
Saw them in the parking lot before a Col. Bruce/ARU show. Thought they 
were on tour with ARU, didn't even realize they were the opening band until we 
went inside the venue together and they jumped up on stage. 
On r.m.p... got some tapes, liked em so I went and saw em... still like em... 
Through tape trades 
A friend had a tune as filler on a Dead show I was listening to. 
heard a bootleg
saw them accidentally at the OR. country fair summer '94 
I live in South Royalton Vermont - came up here to go to law school - and 
since Vince's wife Kim is from here, people here know who they are. Jim, a guy 
who works in the local deli, was wearing a Leftover Shirt and told me about 
them. I saw them shortly afterwards.
word of mouth back in Blacksburg
Got them as a filler on a smoking 8/10/82 Dead tape. Must have been 94. 
When i was moving out to Denver, a friend told me to go see them
I had heard about them through the grape vine, then I went out to Boulder 
to visit a friend over Christmas of 94. He had Bridges to Bert. I put it on. I 
smiled. I Danced. I twirled around. Then he told me they were playing the next 
couple of nights at the fox. Well, we went the next night (Dec. 30) and couldnt 
get in, but ended up under a table at the Oasis that night (a story for another 
day). When we went to Winter Park Jan 1, we found out they were playing at 
the Slope. We headed there after skiing for Dinner and drinks, and started to do 
this crazy little polka.
In Fall '94 Downerman/GrammarMan from rec.phish ordered me to hear 
them and sent me a mixed tape.
Word of mouth 
They came to town, and several friends were going...I had heard mention 
of them on the net, but wasn't sure if I wanted to squeeze into the 8x10 for a 
band I'd never seen before. I called Jeff Stampes, who directed me to get my 
butt down there...I went, heard, and fell in love! 
Either from the phish.net, or from a friend of mine who mentioned them 
when they were coming to town in Jan. '95. 
I was living in the East, and a friend who visited Boulder told me I would 
LOVE them...two years later, I heard them at the Fly me to the Moon in 
Telluride, and the rest is history.
I heard about LoS completely by accident. One February night in 1995 
my friend Ken and I decided to head into NYC to see what was going on and 
ended up at the Wetlands. We didn't know who was playing, but very soon 
found out about the whole Leftover Salmon thing.
My friend Jon was kind enough to introduce me to...as my friend Beth calls 
them...'The Salmon'...ha...just saying it makes me laugh 
From Taz... she dragged me to see them in Baltimore in 1995. 
a friend took me to the 8x10 last year, it felt like the upstairs floor was 
collapsing form the dancing.
a friend advised me to go to a show.
a friend of a friend was going to the show for his birthday, always up for 
new tunes my wife and I tagged along 
Opening for Widespread last Fall
Friends introduced me to a live show
My best friend, Pam Feldmman, was living out in Durango and was 
relaying a story about this GREAT band she went to see every weekend...what 
they played, how it made her feel, etc. I knew I had to see them! 
A guy had them on his tape list.
From a friend who lives in Boulder. He first gave me a tape that had 
LHSB on it!!
I don't quite remember but I think someone introduced me to Vince at a 
Party back in '89 or so and he invited me to come check out the band a few 
days later.
a friend, who had been to a show, played me a CD she had bought there. It 
was "Ask the Fish" 
from a friend who saw them at the '95 Hog Farm festival 
A friend went to the Telluride festival in '95 and came back raving about 
PECSG. He was so enthusiastic I went to check 'em out when they came to 
NYC a month or two later.
A friend sent me 4 songs as filler on a Phish tape. 
watson festival, in NC, 1995
A friend (Mike Cutler) told me about them and we saw them here in 
Boulder in the early 90s (1991-ish) at JJ McCabes. Played lots of Femmes and 
Clash and other generally weird stuff.
my neice saw them at Ziggy's while at school , brought a tape home for 
christmas
Traded a Phish tape for a Salmon tape.
yep
From Mark I guess -- back in May '91. This was just before GMOTC (by 
the LHSB) was released. He said LoS was already going great guns.
my friend AJ told me about them about 3 maybe four years (ago).

5. Did you like 'em immediately?

hell yeah, in fact, i LOVED 'em!!!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
see above
Oh yeah
As soon as I saw the live it was "4:20" all the way! 
yes, but interest has grown over time 
Yup
in the sometimes convoluted spelling of Matt Sweeney: deffinetly! (just 
kidding, Matt!)
oh yes indeedy
Yep (I even danced without knowing their music; usually I find that very 
hard to do...)
Indeed!!
Absolutely. Festival junkie.
Not as much as I do now.
When I heard them? Oh yeah. 
Of course 
OH YES. Definitely. major silly fun times all around. beautiful people
Immediately if not sooner... I liked the guys before I realized they were the 
band.
yep
Flunk Yes!!!!
Oh, Yeah! 
of course
YES!!!!!!
Hell yeah
I was literally speechless!
absolutely. I didn't have a way of getting any tapes, though, since I had no 
computer and none of my friends had any LoS. 
Actually no. At my first show i was impressed but i wasn't blown away. 
Probably because i was sitting on my a__ in the balcony rather than boogies 
my a__ on the floor! 
How could you not? The room was bouncing. . .The floor was shaky. . . the 
steam was rising. . . and the Fat Tire was flowing. . . . 
Of course, but I did not LOVE them immediately. That took seeing one 
show *live*.
Can I get an AMEN!! 
oh yeah. 
Yeah.
Nope...I LOVED them immediately
HELL YES I liked them immediately, my jaw is still scraping the floor of 
the Wetlands from that night.
No doubt about it... 
YEAH BUDDY!
hell yes. I am a big Bob Maley fan and when the Salmonized Small Ax 
that was it.
Yes! I did!
Yeeeeesir!!
Ah yeah!
YES YES YES YES YES YES
Ayup.
Definitely, had to see them live.
Indeed.
Prettty Muuuch!
:-) natch.....
yes, sir...
Well, my friend had lent me Bridges before the show, and I wasn't that 
impressed. But from the first note of my first show I was hooked!!
No, I loved 'em!!!
oh yeah!!! 
Yes siree!
so so , but about a year latter I saw them @ irving plaza in NY city and I' 
Still thank her every time I see her! 
It didn't take *that* long! 
yep
Sure, but it was more than a year later (9/92) when I first got to hear 
them. I don't think the tapers had heard of them yet (unless it was Michael 
Henry) and I don't think the band knew what tapers were at the time. The 
acoustics were awful. The words were impossible to understand. It didn't seem 
to matter to anyone. I've never seen so many folks having such a good time. So 
did we!
Hell yeah. from the frist note.

6. What do you like best about the music?

its fun to dance to, vince's improvisation, mark! 
the fact that it is so COMPLEX, yet more fun than anything I've ever 
heard. Mostly, the creativity.
besides the chaotic energy and great fans i love the rockin' bluegrass- the 
best of both worlds a little like the early nrps i've listened to for years
The fact that they don't take themselves too seriously on-stage, but are 
tremendously talented musicians. This makes for an incredible live show. I also 
enjoy the humor they present both in the lyrics and in stage presence, as well 
as the pot references.
It's a toe tappin good time... and the banjo! 
everything... honestly... 
The funny stuff, the fact that they are constantly joking around and that 
they sound like no other band I've ever heard. 
Gosh, I tend to not think about things like that. I just prefer to be 
absorbed into it. If I have to hazard an answer, it would be the combination of 
the three "frontmen."
the energy - they took the principles of surge and release, and forgot about 
the release part. guess that comes after the show... 
being able to DANCE and SMILE a lot (I find that any music that makes 
me smile is usually what I like), feeling like I am relating to the band during the 
show, dancing and smiling even when I'm listening to a tape 
I like how laid back it is and how easy it is to dance to. I also like watching 
the boys have a blast.
kick-ass bluegrass/zydeco in the sense that when i listen to them, its 
impossible to stand still
Fun and danceable as well as complex and requires much talent to play. 
LoSers make me smile and make me laugh and put up with my random 
posts ;) 
The fact that it makes me groove like nothing I've ever heard!
SILLY, jams. damn silly.  very danceable.  different than anything I have 
heard. not comparable to anything I have heard
It is a blend of many features of American Musical History, yet it is new - 
progressive - and evolving in the jams. What I like best is the unique 
contributions of each individual member of LoS into the organic whole which 
spans times, cultures, and regions yet blends into one big good time.
good time vibes.... 
Well, I got a show from '94, so there was a keyboard/accordian player. I 
liked that there were great instruments (accordian/fiddle/mandolin/banjo). I am 
a sucker for a good keyboard player. Also, I love the fact that they have fun 
and you can tell even from the tapes.
Creativity; starting from something >simple and expanding
jammin' bluegrass
dancing fun, energy, and talent>
It kicks my a__, excuse the language, but it really does. This is the only 
band I have seen that can play so hard and fast for so long that *I* get tired of 
dancing before *they* get tired of playing. Plus, they always put a huge grin on 
my face, make me laugh, play incredible music, and are nice down to earth 
guys to boot.
energy
The Sponteneity (sp?), The energy and the positive vibes.
Festival!! 
I like Bluegrass, so naturally I like what they do. But what does it for me 
is how they sort of distort bluegrass into rock and roll and ska, and at the same 
time they turn rock songs into bluegrass ditty's 
It kicks my a__. And sometimes I like to dance and smile, when I'm not 
busy scowling and hissing.
The intensity mixed w/ humor 
Makes me shake my a__ :) 
I like the energy of the live performances. I don't find the music as 
transcendent as that of some other bands that I really dig, but it's hard to 
match these guys' enthusiasm, and the festival atmosphere at the shows. I 
have tons of fun at Salmon shows.
Accessable to everyone...bluegrass, jazz, cajun, rock...it's got a little of 
everything...it Bridges the Bert and makes us all move our feet, a more noble 
cause I can't imagine
I like the outright danceability of each and every song LoS plays. The 
improv jams are exciting and uniquely original as well. 
One word...Energy 
Hmmm.. tough one. The banjo really attracted me at first. Then actually 
seeing Drew do some of the things that he does pretty much blew me away. 
The transition from mandolin to fiddle to slide guitar without missing a beat. 
Simply incredible. Then put on top of all, Tye's solid groundwork and Vince's 
predilection for the insane and VOILA! we have a winner ladies and gentlemen.
the groove make ya move.
I appreciate the people it brings together. 
The way it grabs you by the scruff of the neck and makes you jump 
around. sometimes it even makes the floor bounce too 
The musicianship is as obvious as the fact that the guys are having a 
great time playing. That's why i can't stop smiling when i hear/see them.
Energy
It makes me feel free, alive and happy. Like I do when I'm at a festival on 
a sunny day.....
The banjo, mandolin, Vince playing the washboard, music you can dance 
to 
It has great energy...and it has blugrass roots...and it's diverse...and it 
jams!
The collective musical skills and amazing energy that drips off the stage 
night after night
Energy truely focused.  I was most impressed with the skills of the three 
pickers, and had to hear more.
positive vibrations, talent, showmanship, energy, humor, extended 
jamming... 
Everything! ;) Actually, my favorite part is the incredible sense of FUN 
they bring to their shows. 
Just about everything. I could tell that they were extremely talented 
musicians and to top it off they sounded like they were having the time of 
their life playing it. I HAD to get more of it!! 
energy, spontaneity 
High energy, feel-good music that's great to dance to! 
ENERGY HIGH ENERY, and then I can't stop smiling 
The energy, the positiveness and the sheer talent and skill. Did I mention 
exuberance? 
energy eclecticism
I guess it's watching everybody from the band to the fans having such a 
great time. It's like the music is the transmission medium for the message, the 
energy, rather than the message itself. Maybe in a couple of years I'll come up 
with a better answer.
The stlye and the huge sound of the music. I also was getting into bela 
about the same time, and the first thing i thought was how much fun LOS was 
compared to bela. I love belas music, but it can get a tad "new age-y". I was 
trying to turn every one I knew onto LOS during this period.

7. What is/are your favorite LoS songs? 

Ask the Fish, Boogie, Boo Boo, Whiskey for Breakfast, Valley of Full Moon 
Hmmmm.....all of them!?!? no, Reuben's Train, Rocky Road (especially 
jammin into Rider), PASTA, Zombie 
All the good covers, Rueben's Train, Bend In The River, Paint It Black, 
Highway Song, Valley Of The Full Moon, i could go on forever (but couldn't we 
all)
Aargh... that's tough. I'd have to say Better, River's Rising, Two Step au 
Will/Madame Rosin, Reuben's Train... basically the ones that really make me 
move at shows. I also love the covers they do, especially when they spice them 
up with different and spontaneous lyrics.
Pasta, Carnival Time, Hot Corn/Cold Corn, 4:20 polka! 
depends on what tape is in or where I am... River's Rising, Dance on Your 
Head, Pasta all come to mind 
TV Dinner, Nothin But Time, Hot Corn/Cold Corn 
Geesh, another toughie. River's Rising, 4:20 Polka, Green Thing, Paint it 
Black(or whatever you may prefer to call) Whether blasphemous or not, I just 
really dig the bluegrass tunes, whether standards or slamgrass tunes. 
Squirrel Heads & Gravy, Hot Corn, Mama Boulay 
Hot Corn/Cold Corn, 4:20 Polka, Jokester 
Pasta, Ask the Fish, River's Risin, groovy other stuff, and Bob Marley 
cover tunes

PASTAAAAAAAAAAAA, too many to name.....
Ask The Fish, Pasta on the Mountain, Paint It Black, Zombie Jamboree, 
Jailhouse Blues, Rubens Train

Tough to choose one, so I won't (OK, how 'bout Boscoe Stomp - for today 
at least) 
Mama Boulet,although I really liked Paint it Black at Mama Kin last 
week 
Boogie
hard to say...
Well, this week it's Squirrel Heads and Gravy - mostly because of the 
great version they played last week at the Metronome in Burlington - lots of 
mentions of my town and school and the bar they played in here (Terrapin 
Station) in 95
Valley of the Full Moon for now
Funky Mt Fogdown Funky Mt. Fogdown Funky Mt. Fogdown Funky Mt. 
Fogdown Funky Mt. Fogadown 
Funky Mountain Fogdown! 
Funky Mtn Fogdown, BOO BOOOO!!!!!, 4:20 Polka 
Get Me Outta This City, River's Rising
Troubled Times (will they ever play it again?)
Gotta be Pasta on the Mountain, but I've not seen it live yet. I also dig 
Whiskey, Squirrel Heads, and others. The only one I really don't like is Stay 
Away Monday. Is that a Jimmy Buffett cover? 
Some of the old Left Hand String Band Tunes (Gold Hill, Get me Outta 
this City, Valley of the Full Moon) River's Rising, 
Whispering Waters is very hot. I love all of their Stones covers as well.
Well it's not a LoS song to begin with but I would have to say Pressure 
Drop would win out...They've just got to play it more when I'm around....then 
there's Hot Corn/Cold Corn, W&B...always a crowd pleaser, River's Rising, 
Rubin's Train...and many many others that I can't think of off the top of my 
head. I'll know that I'm really getting to know their music really well when I can 
'call the song'...ever heard that before
Ask the Fish, Pasta on the Mtn, Stairway to Gilligan (title correct?), 
River's Risin, Flying Cloud Cotillion... I could go on and on and on. 
Get Me Out Of This City,Rubens Train,KB in the Closet,Home Fires.
Just Before the Evening! The Bridge, Bend in the River, ATF, (all of them!)
Wake and Bake (clearly not their most challenging song, but wander 
around a festival singing with a couple hundred of your closest friends and you'll 
like it too!) Ain't gonna work tomorrow, River's risin, Ask the Fish, but I love all 
of them
Whispering Waters, Better, SH & Gravy
Why? When there are so many to choose from 
Couldn't Be Better, Ask the Fish, Zombie, Corn, Outta this City, Rodeo 
Geek 
Even though it's not a LoS song..Dark side of the Shrooms for my own 
personal reasons
River's Risin', Aint Gonna Work,....but really I like it all! 
The Bridge (this is the time), Gold Hill Line, Stay Away Monday, Any

Small Axe, Paint it >Black, Ask The Fish, and Stairway to Gilligan's to name 
just a few. 
2 step au will, stay away monday, lots others
Weeellll, I've always like Zombie Jamboree for sheer crazy dancing, and 
Just Before the Evening and Get Me Outta This City for pretty ones. Of course 
any Femmes or bizzaro medleys are always fun.... and any New Grass covers 
are Great!
Highway song, Boogie , River Rising , Valley of the full moon, s__t I like

River's Risin, Hot Corn/Cold Corn, (stop me before I list all of them)
Hey Joe, Pasta,Whiskey for Breakfast, Ask the Fish, SH&G, Rize Up 
WakenBake 
Highway Song, Euphoria, Ask the Fish, and ALL the fiddle tunes where 
Mark plays clawhammer style and trades off with Drew on fiddle -- Green 
Thing/WBB/OTWF, FCC, SH&G, etc. 
I like them all (seriously) but I really get into the quick picking songs 
Rubens train and Hot corn and whiskey.

8. Who is your favorite LoS member?

Mark Vann the Banjo Man withOUT the Banjo plan; because he is in 
MHO the best musician that i have ever heard, and he has the coolest dad 
Drew Emmitt is my hero!
Mark because i love watching a great picker work and i've got that 
geographic bias (i'm originally a dc "gangster" as well) 
Another toughy. I think Vince's stage presence defines their live show to a 
certain extent, but without the incredible talent of all the others, the music 
would obviously be lacking. Entertainment-wise, I'd have to say Vince . 
Musically, I'd have to say Drew.
Vince
I love them all, they each have incredible talent and unique qualities
No one in particular, I'd have to say Micheal (spelling?) cause no one ever 
says anything about him 
Probably Drew, although I hate to play favorites. The voice and all the 
instruments...wow.
Vince. fffeeessstttiiivvvaaaaaaaalll!!!
Tye-- If you watch him at a show, he does his own funny things, but in a 
more subtle way than Vince
They all were nice to me
Tye cause (he) just plain grooves
Hmmm....Drew.
Drew 
Vince, Tye (a close second place)
The Fish :), Mayor McCheese :), and Three Cheers for Jack Thompson for 
making the show go on! 
Drew
Probably Tye since he just keeps his mouth shut and freakin lays down 
the groove. 
Vince -- he never seems not to be loving it all
Drew
tye
I'd have to say Drew - I just love his voice so much and am a fan of the 
mandolin. Second prize goes to associate member by blood - Bryant Vann - for 
being such a cool guy, getting me on this list, and being such a great 
contributor to the scene, getting info out, etc.
not even gonna try
see #7 
Anyone who plays the slide mandolin like Drew does gets my utmost 
respect!
Not quite sure. The banjo dude seemed pretty cool when I talkd to him at 
the Metronome, and the bass player was making funny faces when I took his 
picture which was rather cool.
Probably Mark. I just find his Banjo playing and style fun to watch. Then 
Vince, since he's got a great sense of humor. Then Drew, because he's an 
amazing musician. The Pete Sears, if he's playing keys. And well, the bassist 
Tye and the Drummer (?) have never especially moved me.
Drew or Vince or Mark or Tye or Woo. Roll the dice
Drew ;p 
Dunno. I get into watching the three frontmen, can barely hear Tye, and 
don't notice Michael, but the latter two do a fine job of providing a ground for 
the soloing.
Drew...no doubt...
Tye. Not that they're all not talented, but I shared a plane ride from 
Denver to Chicago with him and he was just really nice and excited to meet a 
fan in an unlikely place.
TYE...he has a super amount of talent...he's fun to watch...and if you 
listen really hard...he stands out. 
Probably Vince because he looks like he's having TOO MUCH FUN! 
Drew, I do a little 6 string strumming myself and he such an inspiring 
player.
Vince
Vince's energy/comedy - and - Drew's godlike tri-instrumental ability are 
certainly the hook for me (so to speak), but they're all the tops in my book.
What a silly question. Why not "who's the cutest?" 
They All Jam
I can honestly say that I like all of them too much to pick just one. 
Have to be Vince because he made me laugh so hard 
Drew for his musicianship, Vince for his energy, and Mark for looking so 
happy on stage.
Mayor McCheese (the safe political answer) 
Drew
Drew - but i like 'em all.
Drew, but it's tough. He's amazing on all his instruments, and he sings 
most of my favorite songs. 
Drew!! Incredible is an understatement!
drew (mandolin players amaze me) 
The Mayor.
I'm most impressed by Drew but I think they all just amaze me
Bert
bert, of course
I've been fortunate to get to know them all and they're ALL super folks -- 
'course I'm partial to Mark! 
Just wanted to give my 2 cents to the list about the survey. On one point 
especially.... There's no way to say which one of the Salmon is the favorite, or 
which one would be the preference for lessons, as has been evident from the 
replies. Just listening to the Bridges to Bert album tonight, it is clear that it's 
such a special blend. By the way, can you guys get the keyboards back? 
Thanks for the music!
This is a silly question.
It's probably Tye, the guy really gets down on stage, and let him sing more.  :-)

11. What is/are your favorite LoS experience/s?

talking to the band before the show in Athens 
1)Pasta from Ripley's (Cincy) on 9-29-96; 2) Reuben's>Junction>Pig in a 
Pen>Molly & Tenbrooks>Doin my Time>Reubens from Earlham U. on 2-2-97. 
3)Rocky Road from 2-22-97 Sycamore Gardens in Cincy 
2/5/97 Nashville my only "real" show and i was buzzing from it for days. 
grovel grovel
I think the 2/20/97 Hampden-Sydney show was my favorite, simply 
because they were a lot goofier on-stage than I'd seen them before or have seen 
since, and they did so many different things, like Blister in the Sun with a 
monologue by Vince, Rockytop w/ Hotel California lyrics, etc. I also went with a 
group of really great people and really danced my arse off. The next night at the 
Bayou was great as well, because I got to meet so many fellow LoSers, but 
concert-wise, I'd have to say the previous night was better.
Wake n' Bake encore @ the Granada Theatre in Lawrence 
Without a doubt ROAM tops them all... Asheville 2.17.97 and Winston-
Salem 10.24.96 are other highlights... 
11.30.96 cause it was so odd and it was my first show. 
2/17/97--standing 4 rows back in the center was just incredible. 
getting a big smile from Vince after the 2/21 Bayou show, cuz I yelled 
"festivaaal" after people had stopped cheering & clapping 
Warrenton-- it was my first LoS only show and there were so many kinds 
of people!!! There were even friend's parents there that I've known since 
elementary school!!!
At the only show I saw everybody was completely belig and during one of 
the songs, I can't remember which one, I noticed that my sister and a friend of 
hers were on the stage dancin' around with the band members (they were 
called the "boogie sisters"). I had a wonderful session with the band once they 
got off the stage. These experiences definitely made the night.
Listening them while driving through the White Mountains and they were 
in the middle of an insane jam when i broke through a little patch of fog and 
came out into a clear patch of mountains, sunshine , and snow. orgasmic to 
say the least.
All of 'em!
WARRENTON!!!!!!!!!! and talking/listening to the guys before/after shows. 
see above and ROAM definitely
gettin silly with Vince 9-28-96 after another show at the Blind Pig. 
My first two shows (opening for ARU, first New England LoS shows), my 
most recent two shows (Memphis on Marley's Birthday), and the next two 
shows (whenever they may be). 
2/14/97 Tuscaloosa, AL, 1st LoS-only show........
This newsgroup is definitely a highlight.
There's always something unbelievable about that first show that's just 
so magical. Until I've been to many more shows and know the music 
backwards and forwards, that'll be my favorite.
ditto
seeing them outside at the OR country fair...great surprise to hear music 
that great (we didn't even know their name 'til after they played) outside in the 
sunshine with kind folks all around buggying down, with plenty of dancing 
space!
Well, for the longest time it was the Metronome 95 show - cause Mike 
Gordon showed up and there was that fiddle player, and it was such a slamon 
show. But last weeks show (2/28/97) involved lots of references to my town - 
we had a huge contingent up in Burlington for the show, plus I got to chit chat 
with the band, etc. - so I guess the two shows are tied.
hmmmmm.... probably all the sets at MerleFest 
Seeing Vince hand out the Salmon platter during Ask The Fish
Meeting Vince at a Col. Bruce Hampton and the Fiji Mariners show. 
My 1st Show, & when they played in South Royalton last year. The whole 
town came out & Terrapin Station stayed open REAL late, & they just kept 
playin & playin & playin & we had a HUGE pit formed at the front of the stage 
with all these slammin law students.
When I took off my bra and threw it on stage for Drew.. ;-)  But seriously, 
probably when they played Gilligan's Stairway to Ironman the other month at 
the Fillmore. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed that, and well, was highly 
amused.
Took a week off last year and spent the week w/ LoS from 4/20 thru Merle 
Fest. Many shows!! 
Trax in Charlottesville, last October 25
The live experience. I guess the show I saw last month, since a friend of 
mine who was a huge skeptic ("I don't like Leftover Salmon"), and whose 
musical taste I respect a great deal, got berted. 
1994, Chalet Suisse in Nederland, CO. Michigan Mike was wandering the 
room ensuring that EVERYONE (including the Band) was on the Bridge that 
night. They ripped that place apart...the Chalet has an indoor waterfall, about 
25 feet high. They were tearing apart a smoking 'Reach', and Mark Vann, the 
Banjo Man with the Banjo Plan, climbed the waterfall, and didn't come down for 
a looooong time. Later, during a mighty fine 'Rise Up', Vince led us all out the 
back door....it was a full moon, and we all danced around like idiots outside, 
singing, dancing, and banging on whatever we could find, circled around and 
came in the front door.
My favorite LoS experience was the show I saw two weeks ago at the 
Wetlands. It will go down as one of the all time greats I assure you. 
Warrenton, VA...Courthouse lawn...or should I say in the street in front of 
the courthouse lawn. There was a ton of energy...oh and a lack of power at one 
point...and the 15 or so LoSers were helping to Bridge...Bert...in a big way...just 
to give you an idea of where things were at...often times it was our energy being 
funneled into the little kids and back out of the kids into their parents that 
really got things a rockin'...Overall that show and the people at it created one of 
the most positive LoS experiences that I can remember.
The Warrenton gig by far. The energy that was flitting about touching 
young and old was intense. And the fact that when I arrived, they were 
warming up and i *ran* down the street, made a beeline for the tapers' area, 
saw a taper friend who I know that grabbed my cords and fed them into the 
array while I unpacked the rest of my stuff. I hit "record" literally 3 seconds 
before they started. I was so proud of myself. ;-) 
my first show
I have LOTS! I'd have to say just about every one!! OK, I realize that's not 
fair-I'll pick one... Their first time touring Texas, my boyfriend and I flew out 
(from CA) and did the TX Salmon Tour! We tore up the state, and it's big! They 
played the White Rabbbit in Austin, a psychedelic rock 'n roll club. WILD! ( in 
addition to a place in Houston and one in...was it Dallas?) People were blown 
away, of course, but they loved it! Me, Too!!
Psychedelic Ball - Santa Cruz or HSF in Bear Valley. Everyone is a 
memerable experience.
Has to be the Sycamore Gardens, Cincy show -- First full show and a 
great one, forced 4 friends to go who loved it, spoke to Mark and Tye which was 
cool. (Again, if anyone has this show....) 
When they played a Sex Pistol's song - "God save the Queen" It brought 
the place to a riot.
Asking them questions for the FAQ, getting to know them as ppl, risin up 
with them, dancin barefoot in the mud with Vince. 
Seeing them play at a small outdoor venue and being the only one to 
dance in front of the band during the whole first set. Must have had the biggest 
smile on my face.
1. Going to the show last Sat at wetlands with the woman I am in love 
with, 7 months after we met at the abovementioned LoS show. 2. Having 
Vince grab a chillum(sp?) out of my hands as we were groovin in the front row, 
so that he could partake in what we were partaking in. >(at the 8/2/96 show)
Hog Farm, Walking into The Fillmore with the band for the first time, 
Telluride main stage, Merle Watson fest, Stage Stop in Rollinsville, Gold Hill 
Inn and all the quality time I've gotten to spend with this band who've sorta 
become my 2nd family over the years.
Seeing them play outside during a Street festival in Breckenridge, Colorado 
during winter; and seeing them play on the back of a flatbed in Warrenton, VA 
in the summer.  Also, out in dah streeet-ah.  Though the night that the clocks 
got turned back in October and they played for about 3 and a half hours was 
pretty fun, too.
my first show, the other 3 '96 Fillmore shows, and the "Jammin' with 
Salmon" late-night circus tent set at High Sierra Music Festival '96 w/Sam 
Bush et al.
ROAM, without a doubt. Probably my favorite concert experience, overall. 
Bridging the Bert during my first show and then spreading the word to as 
many people as would/will listen. 
midnight jam at watson fest, april 1996, they tore the roof off the place 
The Telluwhut (Else) Festival. (July 31st 1997 will be my second)
ROAM 
1/31/97
yep
9/4/92, Nederland, CO, where I first saw a HUGE crowd ready to dance 
about 15 minutes BEFORE the band started and then boogied their behinds off 
until I caved and went home around 1:30 -- our "waiter" had never seen such a 
scene (Matt, you with me?) and started the evening with a most proper bow-tie 
-- by midnight, he and the rest of the staff had had to go home and raid their 
refrigerators to bring in more beer after the place ran out and he NOW had his 
tie off and was wearing an LoS t-shirt and was boogying his own behind off! 
AND Warrenton -- the part where the street started empty and stayed that 
way through maybe three numbers when a couple of 4-year olds went out and 
broke the ice -- then a 2-year old (maybe even younger) lass staggered out to a 
spot in the street right in front of the stage where Drew was playing and just 
stopped and stared up at Drew like he was, indeed, THE MAN! -- then the 
street filled to the point where there was barely room to stand. It was that way 
until the town fathers made them quit -- the band had packed up and 
everything was again quiet and there were Warrenton yuppies still standing 
around with their kids asleep in their arms -- still too charged up to leave -- still 
wonderin' what had happened there. As one said to me, "I've been coming here 
to these concerts for years, but NOBODY has ever danced in the street before. 
THIS should happen EVERY time!
ROONNNEY MOUTAIN FEST in upstate NY Craziest party I think i 
was ever at, and I have seen about 200 deadshows and about 70 Phish shows

12. If you could take a lesson with one of the band members, who would it 
    be and why?

Mark! ! ! !, i wanna learn to play the banjo better 
Drew, because I play Mandolin and guitar, and you know, he's the 
BOSS!!!!! 
Mark for that whole banjo but it wouldn't matter because i'm musically 
inept anyway.
Drew. The guy is amazing in so many respects. He is extremely talented 
on guitar, mandolin, and violin, and has a great voice taboot. I'd love for him to 
show me some stuff on mandolin.
I'd like to take a lesson from Vince cause he's just so damn cool! 
Drew because he can play the hell out of a fiddle 
As much as I admire Drew, I would really love to play the banjo. 
Drew - I envy anyone who can play the mandolin. 
I don't really want a lesson because it would be futile, but I would like to 
hear Drew talk about playing and what inspires or influences him, etc...for that 
matter any member of the band talk about stuff like that 
I'd love to be as good at improv as Vince 
Definately Drew because I really have an appreciation for his multi-
instrumental talent. I would also love to be schooled on the finer points of 
fiddling (and the not so fine points...) 
Drew, I would like to learn mandolin stuff from him, although I am a 
drummer so I don't know how well I would do!
Drew, because of him and Sam Bush I want to buy a mandolin. 
Drew, because he's the man
Tye- he is quietly silly, and I have always liked trying to play the Bass 
I'd take a lesson in improvisational poetry from Vince. 
Drew...
Mark because banjo picking always has fascinated me. It seems utterly 
impossible to go that fast and hit all of the right notes. 
Tye -- I've always wanted to be a bassist 
Drew, he is God
Mark - banjos are so sexy.
Mark. I can play guitar, and I used to play viola (violin-ish). I would love to 
add some banjo influence to my overall playing style. 
Mark Rules. Definately Mark.
Oh, i don't know. Probably Vince since i play the guitar 
I wouldn't take a lesson from one of the band members, although I would 
be interested in Vince's philosophy of life. 
Mandolin lesson from Drew. He's my mandolin idol. I'm trying to learn b/c 
of watching him play. 
Drew...for reasons that cannot be stated here on the grounds that they 
may incriminate me...
I don't know. Taking a lesson from any of them isn't important to me. 
Drew...I've always had the most respect for his musicianship, and have 
learned a lot from him just as a person. 
I would take a lesson from Drew. He plays guitar, mandolin and violin, all 
with equal precision and melody. I'm an amateur guitarist myself, and I barely 
have time to practice one instrument, what his secret? 
Gotta say Tye...in fact the more I watch him play the more I realize that 
a 6 string bass is what I would really want to try and play one day. It just looks 
like too much fun...although I think I could start my lesson on a 4 string 
bass...just to be a little more traditional.
Well, I have ALWAYS wanted to learn how to play banjo... 
Drew, the man knows what he's doing.
Drew, because I play the violin.
Drew and Mark (I play guitar and love to tinker with the banjo) 
Probably Drew b/c I'm a mandohead
I would love to jam on the fiddle.
Mark because he's self-taught and just so f__king good!!!!! 
I think Mark because I love the Banjo.
Drew, b/c I play guitar and he makes it look so easy, and because I would 
love to play mandolin. I'm not so turned on by fiddle. 
Drew - cause I'm kinda a mando player too! 
Vince Herman. I play guitar, and I think it would be more fun to jam with 
him than with Drew.
Drew. The guy is amazingly talented.
Well, I'm no musician. It would probably be Vince, just so I could spend an 
hour or two rappin' with the wild man!! 
I have no musical talent of my own, so I wouldn't want to waste any one 
of the fellas time. I'd love to be able to play any instrument 1/10th as good as 
Drew plays any of his. Same goes for Mark and his banjo playing. 
drew or mark (mandolin amazes me but banjo is cool too) 
Michael. He's a fantastic drummer. Start watching him sometime -- you 
get mesmerized and can't stop.
Drew, the maldolin is such a great sound 
Tye, because I'm a bass player. 
nope
Like a previous poster, it wouldn't do any good and I know it! In fact I just 
gave Mark my Martin D-35 guitar. Vince took one look at it and said, "Hey, 
these strings are GREEN!" Yeah, from disuse! It only had five strings, but 
Vince made it sound OK anyway!
I don't play, but I would like to learn how to play banjo.

Chesapeake is an interesting newer assemblage of guys who've been around

multiverse sent me!

18. What is your favorite type of pasta?

the dark green sticky "kind" pasta
I love Pizza, with a side of Squirrelheads & Gravy! 
that kind w/ the red hairs although since moving down here i've learned to 
make do w/ plain ol' spaghetti 
I usually go for simple spaghetti & marinara w/ grated parmesan, but also 
enjoy noodles like ziti, rotini, fetuccine, linguine, manicotti, ravioli, and penne. 
Other tasty preparation styles are alfredo, primavera, stuffed (like ravioli, 
stuffed shells, and Fettichini Alfredo (sp?) and mac and cheese 
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese
Mac and Cheese of course.
good ole fettucine
that funky skunky purply green type (eggplant/spinach, if you will) 
all types--
rasta pasta
Veggie Lasagna...ohhh, lasagna...yummmmy... 
The Sticky Kind!
Really cheesy lausgna.
farfalle
I don't know if I have a favorite, because I love pasta, I do not care for 
white sauce on my pasta too much though. I like what I call leftover pasta, you 
just put whatever is in the fridge in it.....(well you know, not mustard or pickles 
or anything like Kind w/ Glass + water
Mac-N-Cheese, Lasagna and any dishes I whip up!! 
macaroni and cheese (does that count?) 
either homemade tortellini or wagon wheels with a nice butter, garlic, 
fresh veggie, and oregano sauce purple haze
ziti
Fusilli (like on Seinfeld - remember fusilli Jerry?) 
baked ziti!!!
Manicotti stuffed w/ricotta, mozzarella & parmesan topped w/ a red wine 
vegetable primavera sauce.
Tortellini
Canelloni
I like all pasta equally.
kind
The kind with lotsa lil red hairs ;) 
I make a mean linguine and clam sauce, but any kind of seafood or veggie 
linguine hits the spot; I don't really grow tired of it. Now that I think about it, 
the lasagne recipe from _Laurel's Kitchen_ is amazing, but costs about $20 per 
batch to make.
Spinach and Sundried tomato...green with lots of little red bits... 
I like a nice firm lasagna, you get a bit of everything. 
gnocchi...it's the small ravioli style pasta stuffed with potato..... 
PASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
PGP?! What's that? Favorite pasta type - cooked. :-) 
the sticky Closet pasta
IT"S ALL GOOD!! :) mmmm
Any kind as long as it's done just right (you know nice and sticky). 
Rasta PASTA!
Home grown (er made) of course. Nothing beats fresh pasta, besides you 
know what goes into it, and it always is better. 
The big, fat round pieces that shine and sparkle and taste really sweet. 
I'm gonna go with the gnocchi 
baked Ziti
Fresh, Organic & direct from the farm!
fusilli
kind pasta, growin' on the mountain...
Whatever kind is available!! 
The herbal green "KIND"!!!
green sticky leafy pasta is nice...I found this great basil, pepper and red-
pepper pasta at a deli here once but haven't seen it since
Angel Hair. NO WAIT! Mac & Cheese!  "K R A F T Macoroni and Cheese 
29-cents leave me money to DRINK!"
pasta on the mountian
Then why ask? q;^) Okay, let's say wagonwheel pasta with smoked 
chicken, thyme and mascarpone.
Nepalese temple balls
I had to ask one of my kids what this means, so I guess that tells it all!

20. What do you think the future of LoS holds?

me attending more shows!
Salmon Festivals willl grow!!! Crowds will NOT be Phish like, but will 
increase to LARGE theaters.
how 'bout another ROAM?? it's gotta be the ultimate 
FFFFFFEEEEESSSSSSTIIIIIVVVVVVVAAAAALLLL!!!!!!! 
If this current tour is any indication, I think they are going to be HUGE 
very soon. I think they have a very promising future and hope they continue to 
thrive as musicians. They love what they do and so do we, and I think they will 
continue making people happy for years to come.
jail. Just kidding... they will make lots and lots of money, and will buy their 
parents brand new cars (hold out for a Lexus, Bryant!!).
bigger venues, more followers, and a hell of a good time
I almost find it hard to believe that LoS will get HUGE. I just can't see 
their music appealing to everyone. I love it and know many who do but I think 
the mainstream would really appreciate it as much as the rest of us, unless 
MTV suddenly said that LoS was cool, then they'd get big. :-)  I'd like to see 
them play large theaters and places like that, where the acoustics are good, 
and you aren't jam packed next to people and come out of the show reaking of 
smoke.
lots and lots of fun!!
very kind things for you, me, us, and the fellas 
Hopefully lots more music and FESTIVAALS!!!! 
Lots more good fans, and wonderful festivals 
from what i've seen, bigger and bigger festivals and more folks being blown 
away by LoS. They deserve any kind of success, and I've been hearing people 
talk about probable shifts to bigger venues over time, and while I saw Phish go 
through the same thing and was somewhat dissapointed, realize this: 
consumer amerika is getting to like much better music, and we should all 
applaud that!
Bigger venues, bigger FESTIVALS!
To Quote Vince "Too much fun!!!" 
probably bigger venues :(, but on the bright side, that means lots more 
kind fans like our net family.
one big festivaalaaaaaaaalaaaaaaalaaaaaaaal (record skipped)
Too Much Fun & the return of Mayor McCheese
Good Touring band.. I think it will be hard for them to move onto bigger 
venues since so much of their vibe is lost there.... Having seen them play big 
arenas opening for WSP, I'm just not sure this will work.... 
who knows, hopefully a shoe contract or something ;)
Hopefully many, many more shows. I'd hope for longer runs at somewhat 
intimate settings -- Fillmore, Somerville Theater, Beacon Theater type of 
places. Lots more appearances jamming with guests and as guests at shows 
and festivals; Furthur 2?
they will conquer the world with their message of peace, love and waking 
and baking
much growth in po;ularity ... maybe to annoying extents...i hope for them, 
but not for us (being selfish)
Only good things for them (and us as fans too!) Can't imagine seeing them 
in large venues, but if it happens, well, I'll still be there and they deserve to 
make lots of cash!
I have no idea. I'll only say that I can't imagine these guys being 
mainstream, just like Phish will never be mainstream (no matter how hard 
people try to make them or say they are). 
Well, the made a decent sized venue jump since their last visit to cincy, 
and their name seems to be all over the newsgroups, so I think that people 
disenchanted w/ other scenes will try to find solitude among the salmonytes. 
They will continue to grow, and the Bluegrass community will continue to 
take hold of them. I don't think they will become HUGE rock stars, cause they 
aren't rock musicians. BUT. . .For awhile at least, all sorts of people will come 
out and shake to the tunes. Then, they will gradually go down in history 
alongside the great American musicians like Willie Nelson, Bill Monroe, Merle 
Haggard, Woody Guthrie, Buckwheat Zydeco, Sun Ra, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
Don't know, and I'm a little worried. I like the way it is now...selfish of me 
to not want them to get too big, but I can't help it. 
Let's see what happens when Euphoria hits the stores. Salmon's getting 
bigger, and with their emphasis on pasta references, I think that portends 
trouble as they grow. We'll see more & more people who go to shows just to get 
f__ked up. Don't get me wrong:
As much success as they want...I expect them to stay in smaller venues 
and festival atmospheres...I don't ever expect to see them in a larger indoor 
venue. The future will bring LoSers together as family, and the band will gladly 
welcome us into their musical home they have built, as long we we all enjoy 
what they do.
I think the word is DEFINATELY spreading about these guys. I see them 
playing bigger venues within the next two years, eventually acheiving the 
status of BT or WSP. I'm really hoping a lot of the idiots I see at Phish shows 
do NOT find out about us however. They would redefine what a LoSer is.
I have this feeling that they are going to grow into the likes of a Black 
Crows. I think the core group of people who are into LoS now will comprise the 
core group down the road...more outside venues...and if it were up to me...more 
shows in Theater like settings...no seats on the first floor please.
I really think the sky is the limit for these boys as far as marketability is 
concerned and public appetite, but I could see them settling in quietly as a 
middle-sized venue attraction and liking it that way. Of course, that's up to the 
fans...
they will continue to build a loyal family of fans, shows move to bigger 
theaters.
More great shows, and more friends!
A 20 show run at the Fillmore!!! Oh you're right, that was Tom Petty. Ok a 
lot more festivals and enough success so that they can all live as well as they'd 
like. :)
Although I wish them great success I don't think it will be as massive as 
some fear - they're all great musicians but some people just don't get it (as the 
mixed crowd at the recent Cincy show illustrated).
More Jammin' Shows
Ask the Fish.
I think they will get a bigger following but I sure hope they never get as big 
as the Dead. Seeing them in a small venue was the best. With such a wide 
variety of people at the shows, the words gonna get around that they are band 
to check out.
I think the sky's the limit, but I also think the core is relatively small and 
very community oriented. This is a huge plus. 
Not quite sure, but I hope for a long, healthy and prosperous musical 
adventure 'round the world!
bigger venues, unruly crowds, the lessening of the good vibes. Hearing that 
people show up to gigs without tickets et. al. is a bummer.  LoS will probably 
only top country charts, if that. Solid, low volume record sales, no multi 
platinum success. no flashy videos, PECSG is too close to bluegrass for many 
people to call it anything but bluegrass. Fortunately, the boys are young and 
hopefully they'll stay together long enough for a lot of people to enjoy hearing 
them play.  hope your survey gives you some fun data.
lots of good vibes and good music.
I don't see them getting THAT much bigger. I just don't see a band so 
strongly rooted in a style like bluegrass appealing to the masses. I think they'll 
get big enough to draw mid-size theatres throughout the country, but not so big 
that the "scene" spreads out of control. And that would be fine by me! :) Of 
course, I also repeatedly said that Blues Traveler or Phish would never become 
mainstream, so what the hell do I know??
Fame and fortune for the band (I hope) and a "school" of very loyal 
LoSers!!(already forming)!!
selfishly - I hope euphoria stinks and nobody new joins the party and we 
can all go back to the bayou and not be like sardines. realistically, lots of great 
things...they have what it takes to move to the next couple of levels...
songwriting, energy, ability.
Beer and fruit pies followed by weight gain and tight leather suits.
I don't know, as long as they keep playin!
That's a tough one. They're getting bigger and bigger, but I don't know if 
their approach to music can work in an arena setting. I'm just glad I got to see 
them in a small club. I never got to see Phish that way. I'm also making a point 
of getting out to see more bands while they're young, cuz you can never go 
back.
prosperity
I'm as mystified as anybody here. Heck, the probability that they would 
get this far was somewhere between slim and none, and yet here they are. You 
folks have watched other bands "grow up" and have a much better feel for 
where this is headed. Before this I've only noticed musicians after they got 
fairly big.
Get them on the clifford ball bill!!!!
