from the previous Avett thread:

Jocelyn from Chicago here. Just want to say thanks for all the wonderful music you guys have created. I truly believe with all of my heart that it's a divine gift from Spirit, and I am so grateful for all the lovely songs.

Couple of questions -- 1. How do the setlists get decided on as far as deep cuts/catalog songs go? It seems like there's some improv/flexibility/in the moment-ness, which is rad. Do you all sit and chat and say, "I'd like to put this in there?" Seems like there's some room for fan requests? Are there some songs that you just don't really ever play live so much? I heard there was a great feeling of love that allowed for "Greatest Sum" last night, for instance.

  1. To that end ... what determines when you'll come out after/before a show to meet/greet/chat up with all of the fans/people who like to hang out and hope? Mood/schedule/physicality, etc?

  2. Buzzie (the vulture)?? The white rat? Discuss. :)
