Right as rain, tony, though it may be Wednesday afternoon before I can post. Word on the street is that grumpymama is southbound, in real time.

While we wait for stoger to wake up, let’s watch.
Lucinda Williams covers The Rolling Stones with her version of Salt of the Earth. Performed with Blake Mills, the up and coming Guitar God. This was taken at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano California, on January 17th, 2012

22) Hard Time Killin Floor Blues
23) Joy
24) Get Right With GodImpeccable, Grumpy: no setlist corrections necessary. And you got to like that opener: three covers without the f word (Tex; Charles; Williams), three Mills originals WITH the f word. The humor both in Blake’s songs and the Joe Tex cover came through last night, with fine audience response. He was loose and modestly mentioned missing sound check/rehearsal in the name of Conan taping (see the other thread for that). He encouraged the crowd, saying Lu doesn’t like typical LA crowds “with the critics there” etc etc.
The venue was tucked away in what amounted to an office complex, with neighbors like Auto Body USA and Jones Custom Concrete and Masonry and, my favorite, Rock n Roll/Jazz Drums and Guitar School. But it has a storied history; Lucinda mentioned seeing Spirit there in the 80’s. Also good current bookings. I wasn’t wild about the table layout, a less bovine Billy Bob’s it seemed for awhile, but we adjusted.
Skeleton crew, with former monitors guy doing front house sound, new Lu guitar tech (who also handled monitors), same Blake tech, Matt back at merch.
Lu said “I know it’s a pain in the ass” to her new tech when he was having trouble adjusting the stand on the lyric book, then laughed it off. She plugged a book co-written by the late Charlie Louvin called Satan is REal. Happy times.
More soon.
