After a great week in Nashville Lucinda and I headed to Fayetteville Ark where she was offered, very spur of the moment, the opportunity to do a surprise solo acoustic show at George’s On Sunday 9/19, with the possibility that her father Miller may open with a poem or two if he is up for it. My apologies to all of the out of towners-and everyone- for the short notice but Lucinda literally gave the thumbs up for this show as we got to Fayetteville tonight. Ok now we just need to find a guitar……

Word spreads fast. Found this on twitter.
NWAWhatsup Just announced: Lucinda Williams will perform Sunday (Sept. 19) at George’s Majestic Lounge. Tickets are $20 and available now.
This tweet is somewhat hijacking the thread, but in regards to great week in Nashville, apparently guitar player for Train (the one that looks like Howie Mandell ;-)) loves Nashville as well, he tweeted, along with a pic, of him and Lu.
train Just met Don Was at our hotel bar and had a few drinks with the amazing Lucinda Williams. I love Nashville!-JS http://plixi.com/p/44871656
Nashville’s great, yes, Lafayette. Still awaiting someone’s (yours? West Words’?) account of the Friday night studio interview/mini-show. As for Fayetteville on the Sabbath, hmh…
there’s a band there that a friend is crazy about called “Trout Fishing in America”
they might be able to loan you a guitar…@coffee4throad wrote:

A twenty hour drive for me, way too far but George’s Majestic Lounge has a very storied history.
If you get a chance, look up their web site.
In the meantime a couple of pics for fun.
Sure hope the train schedule cooperates for Lu and Dad.
lwjIt is about 3 hrs away from me. We leave for vacation on Saturday. Of all the days to leave for vacation. ugggg. 🙄 🙄

There are a lot of reasons that Fayetteville rules, but one of them is the fact that we occasionally get a last minute show from one of the best singer/songwriters on the planet when she comes to town to visit her father.
I’m talking about Lucinda Williams, who George’s announced today will be in town for a one-night-only performance at the Majestic Lounge on Sunday, Sept. 19.
Her father, legendary poet Miller Williams, is a longtime Fayetteville resident, and rumor has it that Mr. Williams may read a poem or two at the show if he’s feeling up to it. Miller and Lucinda performed together in a series of shows called “Poetry Said, Poetry Sung,” including a performance at the Walton Arts Center in 2005.
Lucinda isn’t currently touring, which makes the show an especially nice surprise.
The show on Sunday is $20, and tickets are available at George’s ticketing website.

My favorite line I like to use when I know I cannot attend is…
I would have divorce papers waiting for me 😆 (if I took off for Arkansas so shortly after returning from Nashville).
