“Bottom Of the Barrel” at The Ryman in Nashville this past Friday.

Excellent camera work Lafayette ( same reliable Kodak?), great audience participation.
I think this is the first time I’ve heard the song from his self-titled album I believe.
lwjI called my buddy at WNKU this afternoon to tell him the news about this run of shows. He said “Wow, Lu is coming to Cincy twice?” I said “yeah, isn’t it great?” He told me he got to see her at the Lost Highway show in Austin. He loved it. I figured as much as I made a point to listen to him after he returned from Austin and the very first song of his program was a Lu song. I heard him do the same thing after the Mellencamp/ Lu show. He spun JM first and then Lu after that 2008 show. I’m impressed with the things I remember and the things I easily forget.
It was late in his program today when I called. He was checking Amos’s site to confirm the shows while I was on the phone with him so my money is tomorrow he will be spinning some Lu & Amos and chatting up the show. He did mention that Josh Groban was at US Bank Arena that same night, after I told him the date, then as an afterthought said…”Ah, there will be no problem.”
Now we have another twist to ponder.
Lu is in Portland, OR on July 2nd and than with Amos starting July 13 in Northern Michigan in Interlochen.Mr. Tom Overby stated in Lu’s FB page today that quote” I’m almost sure it will happen” referring to the Cisco Ottawa, ON Bluesfest which runs from July 5th thru July 17th.
OK, if it does happen, one may assume that even more shows are still to be added in early July before Interlochen. Wonder what routes the Metal Firecracker will take before Michigan.
By the way, I attended the Ottawa Bluesfest to see Lucinda and many others on July 5 , 2008. Simply an outstanding outdoor Festival.

What we are trying to do after Portland is go thru Canada and then hook with the Amos part of the tour at Interlochen. Right now we are working on Calgary, Edmonton, the Winnipeg Folk Fest, the Ottawa Folk Fest and possibly something in Toronto and and maybe Montreal but that is more of a longshot.
