LaVere, sans McNally [mainly]

Awesome report. Eat pizza.

Indeed! (On both counts!) 😆

Finally, never know who will react when one wears Lucinda merch in public. At the Film Fest, I was hailed by a guy named Robert Ledbetter, from Arkansas, who turned out to be an actor in a different film that night, also author of a book about Nathan B Forrest. I was skeptical, but Square Books had it in stock. He said he used to hang with Lu, and dedicated the first printing of that book to her and Steve Earle! No evidenc with the current edition, though Steve Earle does blurb it favorably on the inside flyleaf. Small world.

Six degrees of separation, much?

Lu’s memoirs will truly be a fascinating read.

I just wanted to alert you upstate/north-of-border folks to the entertainment in your area next Wed. the 24th and Thur. the 25th respectively: Amy LaVere. I’ll let my past comments here (and in the McNally-LaVere thread) speak for themselves, but LEFTY and LWJETTA: take note.

Such non-Atlantic, non-Northern names: The Abilene Bar & Lounge in Rochester, the Sportsmen’s Tavern in Buffalo. I can see the old Lefthander on a bar stool in either place, despite their vaguely Wild West labels. Wouldn’t mind wetting my whistle in either joint, but it’s not in the cards for me this tour. , Guys plan to help me live out her show vicariously, will you?

stoger,Thank you.- inked in not pencilled in to see Amy at the Sportsmen’s Tavern-only $10.00 and 1/2 hr. drive.
The venue is great. My only time there was last September to see Mr. Morlix.
Been to the Abilene also when I saw Lu in ’09
Wonder what that other great bass player is up to these days. (D. Sutton)

So, if i make it to Buffalo, I’ll certainly plan to help you live out her show vicariously.

p.s. I looked up Amy’s bio and see she worked on the engineering for the Grammy winning album “The Suburbs” by Arcade Fire, one of my favorite Canadian bands.
