Its pouring out and has been doing so for about 36 hours. Should make for an exciting jaunt down the 405 to Santa Monica to see Lucinda Williams in a small room with about 150 others. Bring it on!

Off at 1130Thanks, tonyg, for the setlist. Note that Lucinda actually started at 930–tony may have slipped a digit on his smartphone.
Very entertaining show for about 150 people sitting in the back room at McCabes.
In keeping with the acoustic surroundings, the Kenneth Brian Band performed without drums, played their guitars a bit quieter, and utilized more Lillie Mae on vocals and fiddle.
On the Facebook page for the Kenneth Brian Band, there is a short video of the mellower KBB performing Saturday night at McCabes. I believe this video was filmed by the McCabes house photographer.
Lucinda started with lots of upright bass from David Sutton; drums were silent until Butch Norton joined on-stage for Pineola.
I am presuming the song that Lucinda introduced as “West Memphis” is the song listed by stoger for Solana Beach as “That’s the Way We Do Things in Memphis.” The song tonight was entirely about the West Memphis 3.
Great show by Lu last night. Perfect venue for her in terms of getting into her songs and the words and such with less volume and more atmosphere. Packed house. Very soggy evening. I walked in halfway thru the opening act and took up a position to the left of the stage since there were no seats left. Lu was chatty and in great voice. She recounted that she moved to LA in 1984 and played McCabe’s in 1985, citing it as a career break. The FF was well represented with an encore appearance by the Webmasta and his wife, Paul From Los Angeles, and a rare twin-Lisa attack featuring Grumpymama and the universally renowned and beloved Stellablueee. My companion had never been to a Lu show and was quite happy she had finally done so. I posted the setlist during the finale after the left lens to my reading glasses inexplicably fired out of the frame, hit the carpet, and rolled into a dark and dusty corner of the venue, not to be found until after the show ended and I could use a flashlight. Note to self: lasik surgery.
Anyway I woke up this morning to a steady downpour of rain. Something new!

Or contact lenses.
A bi-Lisa show? Heavens.
Yes, Paul, the song is one and the same, about this miscarriage of justice in a city 90 miles down the road from me–a rather joyless place, I’ve always reckoned. We’ll see if the longer or the shorter title prevails with July’s double album release.
