Much Love to DMB and Carter Beauford

I went to the Jacksonville show tonight with my wife and my 7 yr old son, who has been going to Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds and DMB shows since before he was born.
Tonight was his special night as in between the end of the regular show and the encore Carter was throwing out sticks as he usually does. I was 4 rows up into Section 102 and had my son on my shoulder, he was waving at Carter. Carter saw my son waving and gave us that famous point. I went down to the wall and handed my son over the wall to the security officer who promptly took my son up to the stage to meet Carter. Carter gave him a set of drumsticks and absolutely made my son's night.
I cannot begin to thank Carter enough for his simple act of generosity and making my son's night.
In my opinion there is no other band that treats the fan's the way the Dave Matthews Band does.

Thank you very much,
Karl Johnson

    Ummmm, now I really don't know what to say. My son got called up again by Carter at WPB Night 2. For those who were there he was the boy in the Orange shirt. It was amazing and in no way did I think this would happen again. I walked all the way to the stage with my son. He got a set of sticks that were actually used, which is awesome. I shook Carter's hand and thanked him profusely. I am teaching my son right and before this show we had donated 2 bags of food to the food donation booth. I guess Karma came around.
    Thank you Carter and DMB for an awesome week.

    Carter is the man and yes the DMB is the greatest band on the planet. I am happy your son had a great time and got some sticks. A moment he will probably remember forever.
