One of my favorite versions of ‘Small Town’ from the ‘Trouble No More” Live album.

Sample of JM’s cover of “Lafayette” on amazon.

Did you make it to Windsor on August 1st Lafayette ?
Did you take the correct bridge ?
Were you questioned by Border Security ?
Did you relocate from your seat to the front of the stage ?Questions, questions. 😆

September is going to be an uber month for me. John just announced new album to be released on Sept 23 and Lu’s releases following week. JOY!

Lucky you two. I’ve noticed Lafayette that you have won lots of music goodies in your posts. WNKU to name one.
If you are driving to Raleigh that’s about your 8 hr. limit.
“Troubled Man” single acoustic is great. Looks like I’ll have to blow the record budget in September. JM, LU and Pieta.lwj

Pretty sure I saw you two gals about 1 metre from the stage. Lafayette in black complete with cowboy hat, Viv in white.
It was a great webcast, superb quality, no buffering, excellent stage backdrops of farms etc.
I thought Miriam was great especially with her solo after “Small Town”.
Once JM’s set started almost everyone rose from their seats to sway to the music.lwj
You miss nothing…:D
Yes, Viv and I had the time of our life in the photo pit, where they escorted us right to the center of the pit, directly in front of JM’s microphone. I’ve been to 11 Farm Aids, and that experience is the best to date. Amazing.
ZOMG!! I was just invited to attend an exclusive event at John Mellencamp’s recording studio for a one hour broadcast show with iHeart Radio and AXS TV, promoting his new record “Plain Spoken.” This show will be broadcast on AXS TV at 9:00 p.m. EST.
Lucky for me I live fairly close to the studio. They were looking for super fans within driving distance, with only 20 fans being invited to this private event.
Pinch me. What a week it’s been for me, between Lu’s Nashville show and now this invite, minus the speeding ticket I was tagged for the other day – I just find it hard to cry my way out of a ticket. Can’t even attempt it.
WOOT! Bloomington, IN here I come!
Lafayette, This is the coolest news ever! You must wear those super hot Old Gringo boots! And I think this occasion warrants a new hat purchase! Have fun on your date with John 🙂 Viv
Thanks, Viv! I would love to wear my Lucinda endorsed Old Gringo’s, however, we have a dress code mandate (still waiting to hear if I can wear jeans 😕 ). I guess they want us to look good for the man. Actually, not only a dress code, but a rehearsal as well. We have to be at the studio mid afternoon. I think they are going to shuttle us (as if we don’t already know where it is 😀 ), feed us lunch, and then the show goes on at 9:00 p.m. EST.
I’m still freaking. I couldn’t eat earlier and now I’m binging on chocolate. 😮
