East Nash Grass, putting on a fairly polished set at a bar in Kansas last week, the beginning of a 3-week tour according to James' commentary. Couple new tunes debuted in here. Couple funny moments. Like the old days at Dee's.



They sound really tight... and they are nominated for two IBMA Awards as a band (Entertainers and Instrumentalists of the Year) plus Maddie is nominated for Fiddle Player of the year. I hope they pick up something... I don't know why, but I just think they will own it all next year. This new record is really good. But then I'm oldhat... whadda' I know 'bout it?

Gary Karr.
I love his smile towards the audience during his solo.

Going to dive into the full documentary that this was taken from.

This documentary, The Great Double Bass Race.

Jerry & John, 6/6/82:

Patty Loveless (incidentally married to ex-Hot Band and session great Emory Gordy, Jr), 'Hurt Me Bad in a Real Good Way'.  I can always hear Kentucky in her voice.

Master at work.  The great Al Jarreau with my favorite theme song, from 'Moonlighting'.  This sounds so 80's LA, that shiny bright sound with first class players and production surrounding his ever-fabulous voice.  I love this.

Terry Evans with Ry Cooder, 'Get Your Lies Straight', a spooky, bluesy malevolent-sounding piece that reminds me of the rough houses I once played.  Scary guys dressed to the nines with straight razors in their pleated pants, dimly lit Houses of Blue Lights where you only look straight ahead, and the cops pull up outside . . . but ain't stickin' their head in there.

I just watched that last night; I thought I'd posted it.  Must have gotten distracted by a sidebar (or nodded off at my desk before I got to it.......)
Thanks for picking up my slack

One wonders if Stephen Foster ever imagined Angelina Baker in a set-closer like this-

Listening to this on my lunch break  just kinda made me smile
