Juanita’s, Little Rock, Oct. 11, 2011

Welcome aboard, saucy. Thanks for checking in. Always like seeing “Wellx3” in the mix… 🙂

The opener “Can’t Let Go”
Wow, what an enthusiatic welcome from the crowd.

A fan’s report on the show.
QUOTE”
OutSTANDING! I have to confess that I went with a bit of trepidation. A big Lucinda fan for many years, I had started to worry that her most recent efforts indicated a trend toward becoming a caricature of her own down-home self. And a few YouTube clips of recent live shows suggested a lackadaisical slide into a presumed heroine of her own song “Drunken Angel.” But last night at Juanita’s, she perFORMED! Maybe she was fired up by the political goings on (there were several references to the OWS movement, as well as a brazen hope that “the Republicans just shot themselves in their collective foot”). Maybe she was inspired by Juanita’s new digs (though I respectfully disagree, she pronounced it a great venue two or three times). Or, maybe, she just knows where she comes from. Of course, the crowd responded at each lyrical mention of an Arkansas town name. And she referenced her dad’s position at U of A-Fayetteville. But the “coming home” sentimentality was never so obvious as when she sent an admiring shoutout to her cousin Rep. Kathy Webb. I couldn’t help but get the feeling that Lu wrapped up a very special present to the denizens of Little Rock last night, showing her respect for a place that’s still special to her.
