    thanks pancho (and lefty too). No “Ghosts of Hwy 20”??????? At any rate, Jamaican is about right for Are You down. Glad you enjoyed it.

    OOPS!!! Ghosts of Hwy 20 was definitely played, I forgot to write it down on the list. My bad.

    Ahhh, there’s my 2 Kool on the set list. 8)

    I follow Angela Perley, a local band from Columbus, OH, near Nelsonville, and she counts Lucinda as one of her mentors / heroes. She has never seen Lu live until last night. She posted this on her FB page:

    ‘First time seeing Lucinda Williams live and it being in Nelsonville at Stuart’s Opera House= words can’t express… No one writes a song or sings a song like Lu!’

    Angela has played the Nelsonville Music Festival at Stuart’s in the past and is scheduled for this year’s event as well.

    I’m so happy she finally managed to see Lu.

    From Tom:
    This is the third time we’ve been to Stuart’s Opera House and it has simply become a must do tour stop. Built in 1879 with an amazing history including surviving of two fires, it’s the theater that refuses to die. The history just hangs in the air and it’s like no other place we go to. And yes there are ghosts, when you’re inside you would be surprised if there weren’t. Everytime we play it, the urge is to tone down the set slightly, because it’s this small historic theater, but this time I think we finally got the message. It only takes about three songs before people start yelling things like “Essence” and “let’s rock”. And so we did. Next time we’ll remember that.
