I have been trying to meet him forever and although he was not scheduled to be there, Eric Jerome Dickey surpised the crowd. It was like groupies at a rock concert - pulling, hollering, touching the dreads. It didn't help that he was on a motorcycle. He is so fine! This is the prize winning picture.
