Does anyone know if Ridgefield has power? Wonder if the show will go on?

October 31, 2011 at 4:44 pm #48618stogerParticipantPerhaps with a day off, the new month will bring back power. Meanwhile, did the Westhampton, NY show go on? Reports?
October 31, 2011 at 7:54 pm #48619TOverbyParticipantYes, the Ridgefield show will go on -we have a backup generator available so we will have some power if not all. Our hotel has power and the internet seems to be working better in the last hour so we will be fine. We may end up doing a stripped down show by candlelight -and I’m only partly kidding- but in any event the show will happen.
Yes, also to the question about Westhampton, it was a beautiful day there with no snow on the ground.
Will post set list asap.November 1, 2011 at 12:55 am #48620ducknappedParticipantThanks Tom…great to know that the show will go on despite the damage caused by “Snowtober” in Ridgefield and the surrounding area.
Ridgefield’s HamletHub confirms that, power restored or not, “Lucinda Williams will rock the house” Nov 1st as well. Link here:

Well, DID she “rock the house,” or no?
November 2, 2011 at 7:18 pm #48623trzasaParticipantAbsolutley Great show… and the sound was great!
November 2, 2011 at 7:20 pm #48624stogerParticipantGreat to hear–and no comment on the adverb spelling. Can you estimate a setlist, or at least give a few titles? Much appreciated by us landlocked Non-New Englanders basking in mid 70’s climes. . .

November 2, 2011 at 8:02 pm #48626TOverbyParticipantHere is the setlist for last night- the most notable between song talk was after Trying To Get To Heaven -she said “I’m gonna have to get ahold of Bob and ask him what that song is about -I mean some of it is obvious but that line about Miss Mary Jane has a buggy in Baltimore -I don’t know maybe it’s a reference to a past life thing”. Got a good laugh.
The other funny moment that nobody realized until after the show was that Lu and the band all skipped Those Three Days after Buttercup and none of them noticed. A really great night and really great audience.Drunken Angel

Get Right w/ GodNovember 2, 2011 at 8:27 pm #48627LeftyParticipantFrom dylanchords.info…
As a followup to an earlier posting, here are the lyrics to “Miss Mary Jane”, from “The Folk Songs of North America” (Alan Lomax):
Ridin’ in the buggy, Miss Mary Jane
Miss Mary Jane, Miss Mary Jane
Ridin’ in the buggy, Miss Mary Jane
I’m a long way from home(chorus)
Who moan for me?
Who moan for me?
Who moan for me, my darlin’?
Who moan for me?Sally got a house in Baltimo’,
Baltimo’, Baltimo’
Sally got a house in Baltimo’
And it’s three stories highSally got a house in Baltimo’,
Baltimo’, Baltimo’
Sally got a house in Baltimo’
An’ it’s full of chicken pieFrom a post by spjohnny:
This may be obvious, but is it reasonable to assume that Miss Mary Jane’s got a “house” in the sense of “House of the Rising Sun”? And that because he is “tryin’ to get to heaven,” the singer is going to “sleep down in the parlor” rather than sleep upstairs with a prostitute? If that is reasonable, and given all the “sun” references on this album, it seems almost as if he’s learned a lesson from Frankie Lee’s “soulful, bounding leap” in that “house as bright as any sun.” But even though he knows the difference between a house and a home and paradise, he has no home and has to bide his time in houses.
November 2, 2011 at 8:39 pm #48628stogerParticipantSongs 2-4 are almost my very favorite for Lu to play live: thanks, Tom. Had I been lurking on front “row” standing and seen the playlist, I might have yelled out “Those 3 Days,” another favorite.
Catch us up on Westhampton, if you haven’t already; I may have missed it.
Lefty, we await your explication of Fanny from Helm’s “The Weight” with baited breath. 😀

Good Lord, man, some things are unfathomable! But, Bob is transparent (and maybe transcendent).
That breath you’re talking about wouldn’t be baited with Rebel Yell now, would it? 😉November 2, 2011 at 9:36 pm #48631TOverbyParticipantVery impressive research digging that folk song up -that might explain a lot -maybe too much 😮
