Great show here on Thursday night... looked good, sounded good, seemed to enjoy herself. She played for two hours with out a break...favorite songs, Gospel ship, Diamonds and Rust and Deportee (dusted off theWoody Guthrie classic in the most relevant way). Her band mates, Dirk Powell from Breaux Bridge and John Doyle were also worth the cost of admission. Saw all the old timers from Baton Rouge but they had all gained weight lost hair and grayed-who knew. We did not notice any strange smells though because of the strict ban on indoor smoking.
Your post got me to play Diamonds and Rust last night. I also envy your seeing Dirk Powell. He is married to one of the Balfa sisters (Dewey)I knew Nelda pretty well. Dirk is married to Christine as I remember. And he is an all around musical genius.
ReplyDeleteWish that was a November concert. I would have done the road trip.
I got to see Joan Baez about a year ago. She had her son with her - he is a drummer of some fame. Good concert. Good songs.
