Did I mention that we're off to see Alison Krauss in London in a couple
of weeks? <g>
Cheers,

That'll be a great show.
Since 'Brother, where art thou?', there certainly has been a resurgence
in bluegrass. And there are some amazing virtuoso musicians amongst
them, and Allison Krause and Union Station is perhaps the best of the
bunch. She is an incredible musician, singer, and a
multi-instrumentalist as well.
I also love Ralph Stanley doing those a capella early gospel revival
tunes; 'Oh, Death' and such. I hope he's there for you.
Hauntingly beautiful.
And it is interesting to note how close the old Southern white church
music is to early black Gospel, work songs, and spiritual music, which
is amazing considering the brutal racial divisions in the history of
the American South. One would think they would have distanced
themselves from it, rather than trying to embrace it as their own.
Have a great trip and a great concert, Cotty.
You almost singlehandedly keep this list collegial and friendly with
your comical jibes. Some people are so freakin' serious; life's too
short to be serious all the time.
We lubs ya, baby.
Your camera still sucks, though.
