There you have it, Tom! Between the three of us, we want all of them!
Hahahaha, of course we do!! 😆
wow, what a night…
it was a long day; soundcheck at noon and stage time 12 hours later. lots of restless anticipation to get up there and get on with it. when we did, lu and band sounded fucking classic.speaking from my end, the protocol for the set was for val, dave, and butch to do just what they normally do, and for me to add to that. i’ll be honest, it was more than a little intimidating… what do you add to something that already sounds that good??!!
but we made it through, the crowd was very enthusiastic considering most of them had been in there for 4 or 5 hours already.
i really loved getting another chance to play with val. his thing is so natural to this band’s sound, and he makes it so musical – there were a few moments where he was so “on” that either i forgot to play or forgot that i was playing!
that’s all i can remember, like i said it was a looong day… but ask me anything! i’ll be back on a bit later, getting kicked out of hotel now!
Ha Ha: 49 replies seemed a cyber typo, but with our wine-sipping (not to say -gulping) Lafayette doing individual play by play posts, perfectly understandable! I feel like I lived this show vicariously–in slow mo down tempo time. Good to know Blaze Foley has an entrepreneurial sibling still alive and kicking. Blake, looking forward to meeting you in Indy, where the Val quotient will be missed but the rhythm section alive and kicking. . . .

Blake I see that your former band was there. Did you get to see or play with them?
Yea! Had lunch today at Whole Foods with the old Dawes guys. Everyone seems in good spirits, some great stuff coming up this year for them. Very exciting.

Good to hear, Blake. And when I said “the Val quotient will be missed” above, I didn’t mean it as a slight to you–great reports about your work Valentine’s Night and also the Austin Lost Highway thing. Welcome to the band, and the Midwest will rock come late April.

After “Drunken Angel” she mentions something about Foley’s Bar (in Austin) being run by Blaze Foley’s sister (the radio announcer interrupted and I had trouble hearing the rest of the remarks), a BBQ place she says that plays live music.
She introduces next song. “A song I wrote about a poet in Arkansas.”

This was a real challenge to track down. Foley’s BBQ, Sister.
So here is what I found.
One of Blaze’s sisters is Marsha Weldon.
Then it became obvious 😆 if you spell Foley’s backwards you get Yelof’s. ( in Athens, TX )
http://www.yelofs.com/Here is a blurb on the establishment.
Welcome to Yelof’s BBQ and Entertainment Hall!!
We hope you enjoy your visit and that you will come back soon and often! Let us know if there is anything we can do to make you feel totally at home.
Maybe you’ve heard of Blaze Foley?….heard ‘If I Could Only Fly’, his most famous song?
Maybe not.
But before you leave Yelof’s BBQ and Entertainment Hall, we guarantee you will have a little bit better understanding of the man, musician, songwriter, artist, good Samaritan and inspiration for this unique dining and entertainment establishment.
Blaze was, to say the very least, a colorful character. His wit and honesty were woven into the lyrics of his songs as well as the fabric of his life.
Along with duct tape……..
He was fascinated, perhaps even obsessed, with duct tape.
(See if you can find the picture of his duct tape watch next time you come in.)
Perhaps it was his simple way of ‘fixing’ the world.
Throughout Yelof’s (Foley backwards, if you haven’t figured that out yet) you will find news articles about Blaze, copies of his song lyrics, prints of his colored marker artwork and small bits of memorabilia his sister (and our owner!), Marsha Weldon, has collected over the years.
Marsha is a staunch advocate of spreading the word about her brother’s life and his work. She’s pretty passionate about bringing great music to you, too. That’s why you’ll find the best in live musical entertainment at Yelof’s every Friday and Saturday night.
That’s what Yelof’s is all about – Blaze Foley, great music AND the best dang BBQ you’ll find West of Paris – France,that is.
If this is your first visit or your ninety-first, Welcome to Yelof’s!!

Great job, lwj! I missed putting the name of the BBQ place in my remarks…Lucinda mentioned she was told about this place (Foley’s spelled backwards) but couldn’t come up with the pronunciation. I remember reading about Yelof’s, somewhere, but had forgotten about the article as well as the origin of the name.
The songs included on the downloadable “EP” from Lu’s set at the show were just released on Facebook:
Lucinda Williams iTunes Live: SXSW
Born To Be Loved
Convince Me
Come On
Unsuffer Me
Honey Bee
BlessedLooks like they included songs released most recently (i.e., from her last three albums)…
Tom
P.S. They will be available in iTunes Music Store for download tomorrow (March 22nd)…
My itunes freezes when I launch on my PC. I have googled everything trying to come up with a solution and am finding nothing. Anyone have suggestions on how I attempt to fix my problem? I’m open.
