Oh come on -I thought the S would be obvious. And no it doesn’t refer to “surprise”.

And the song – “Love The One You’re With”? 😉

Tom

“Stoger” (note the “S” word) is a bit Slow on the uptake Sometimes, tom. Of course it would be the alliterative author of “For What It’s Worth”–I guess I was just hoping Mr. Browne might show up too.

Where is this, Lafayette?

And/or might we get Crosby & Williams on “Return of the Grievous Angel?”

Ahem indeed, Tony G. I see you neglected to list the amateur talent interspersed between some of the pro acts, but well done–I wouldn’t have remembered all the CSN tunes, including the “Carry Me” one I wasn’t familiar with (as opposed to “Carry On,” not done).

Good to see Tony, Tony’s bro-in-law from Mass., Grumpy M, soundman Kevin, engineer Eric L (he of “oven” fame), and of course Tom Overby himself.

Lu was introduced as a “poet” of the American songbook, promptly said how moved she was by meeting some of the folks associated with the autism cause earlier, mentioned soundcheck and interviews also.

Jonathan Wilson played guitar with her, Stills himself on other side. “Joy” was fine, “For What It’s Worth” superb; Stills was passive vocally for most of it, but caught fire and hit some harmony highs with Lu toward the end of it, ultimately launching guitar picks crowdward.

Jack Black was emcee, and after Lu, he said “motherlovin’ Lucinda Williams” and attempted some metaphorical language involving Texas, Louisiana, coffee, and tea which didn’t quite mesh.

This kid Nic Guzman did a killer “Almost Cut My Hair” with the house band; that might be the only performer I would add to Tony’s list.

Ryan A was OUTTA THERE after his two (fine) acoustic tunes.

Looking forward to T’s comments, then will add more.
