Music Monday: Down by the Bayou….
Feb 8th
In celebration of the Saints’ Superbowl win last night, a little “Louisiana Bayou” by Dave Matthews Band:
Eat, Drink and be Merry!
Jan 31st
Welcome to DMBStuff.com, the brainchild of Becky Kopprasch, a longtime Dave Matthews Band Fan. I have held ownership of the domain name DMBStuff.com for a long time and never did anything with it. I post so often about DMB on my website Basically Becky that I thought it was time to branch out and make an entire site dedicated to the band. I have been to over 35 DMB shows since 1998. The band’s music just makes me happy and they are truly an inspiration to me.
While I work on a new site design, I will be uploading all of my old Dave Matthews Band posts from Basically Becky. I will also be adding new posts to both sites, until more people know about this one.
Expect DMB videos, pictures and news. Basically…all DMB all the time.

Three rousing songs captured on the band’s 2009 summer tour – “Out Of My Hands,” “Lying In The Hands Of God” and “Dive In” are also included.
THANKS: We’d like to extend an enormous thanks to Adam Larson with Adam+Company who generously donated the artwork for the shirt and EP as well as the Ants Marching staff for helping us select the versions of the tracks. Thanks to Musictoday for providing the download service for the cause.
