The only downer of the evening was not hooking up with any FF buddies! I thought for sure a front and center stance would guarantee renewed hellos, but no. Stayed around until near 1:00 a.m. When we had to rush for the last shuttle bus.
Were you by chance that other grey haired man at the front? I was that tall grey haired man right in front of Stu, with only 1 person standing between me and that security railing. A lot of the people we met at the festival didn’t have a clue who Lucinda was, but were still interested in seeing her. I bet Lu gained some new fans last night.
Roger, I was looking for you. I missed James McMurtry.
As folks enjoy the upcoming shows, perhaps we need some thanks to the bus driver(s)? of the Metal Firecracker, for back-to-back nightly excursions:
Bristol, TN to Glenside, PA: 552 miles, at least 8 hours per Google Maps
Glenside, PA to Nashville, TN: 821 miles, at least 12 hours per Google MapsMaybe a Metal Airbus would be welcome…
Right now I’m watching live in cyber-space from the State Street stage in Bristol Virginia or Tennessee, I’m not sure. The Queen of country twang Iris DeMent.
Great Sunday afternoon music.
Iris was preceded by a great solo performance from Jim Lauderdale.
Apparently the Bristol Rhythm & Roots festival will be archived for later viewing, so y’all can see Lucinda’s flawless Friday night show again.lwj

that stage straddles the line, lwj. I heard the first four songs of Jim before pointing my vehicle west. Odds of him doing the same after his set and joining Lu toward end of the RT set? Well, maybe Paul in Los Angeles can calculate times and distances, bearing in mind Jim would, as I did, gain an hour going back into the central time zone.

Grey haired? Oh that hurts! I guess I’m getting closer to that all the time.
I was square in front of Lu, arms on the rails. I think I remember seeing you over there – with a couple of girls between us. Was the VIP Seen magazine photographer lady immediately to your left?
I agree she for sure gained some fans and respect that night.@paul_from_losangeles wrote:

Spoke to bus driver Reggie mid-afternoon at the hotel before the show that night. He seemed spry and wide awake but had plans for some cat napping before their a.m. departure. When I mentioned something about Red Bull, he was quick to let me know he doesn’t do that. He’s tougher than me! I’d need loads of “help” to do what he does.
We spent more time talking football (he’s Knoxville, I’m Birmingham) than his profession. Real nice guy.
I agree with your post. Many kudos to those working so hard behind the scene to make our enjoyment of these shows the thrill that it is.Here’s some video from side stage at the Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion
and the printed setlist…
