Initially, when I heard that the Roots were going to be on Jimmy Fallon, I was happy because of the exposure they would get and all, but at the same time, I was like- dang, no more shows. Little did I know that I would see them almost as many times at these Jams and other little gigs than I have seen them previously dating from pre-Fallon days all the way back to 1999. (Hammerstein Ballroom w/ Macy Gray and Gang Starr was my first Roots show) l'm sure I have bumped into a bunch of you guys at the jams. I did start to see some familiar faces in the audience. These jams were special because they literally would come up with some funky electric spontaneous jams that would switch from show to show all for the recession price of $10. The last show was pushing close to 3 hours long!

Thanks Roots crew- Look forward to your next endeavors!
