The Seldom Scene
Emmylou Harris
Linda Rondstadt
Taj Mahal
Starland Vocal Band
JJ Cale
The Country Gentlemen
Doc and Merle Watson
New Grass Revival
Steve Goodman
B.B. King
Joni Mitchell
Carly Simon
John Prine
Bonnie Raitt
James Taylor
Neil Young
Jim Croce
 
I know I'm leaving out some, due to a hasty attempt at recollection.



When in doubt, mumble

Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs at a little village fair, on a stage low enough that a little boy could rest his chin on it and almost touch their toes. It was more than a few days ago.

I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

Many more that I wanted to see but circumstances would not permit. The one that haunts me most was missing out on Led Zeppelin in 1979 during my senior year of high school. A friend offered me a ticket after his girlfriend broke up with him. But on such short notice, I couldn't get off of work to go n her place so he got somebody else. Why did I have to be so responsible as a 17 year-old?! I should have called in sick or just quit to go see Zeppelin! Hindsight is always 20/20!

Robin Trower
Jeff Beck
Buddy Guy
Eric Clapton
Carlos Santana
David Gilmour
Jimmy Page

Jorma Kaukonen
David Crosby
America (all three: Bunnell, Beckley & Peek)
Neal Schon (with Santana and with Journey)
Stevie Ray Vaughan
John Fogerty




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Recently I saw:

Wood and Wire
Brandi Carlisle

and many others at the Old Settler's Music Festival.
