    Thanks, tonyg.

    Oh yeah, and I meant to mention but forgot that Shardé Thomas used to be the leader of the Rising Star Fife and Drum Band and is the granddaughter of Rising Star founder, the legendary Otha Turner…

    Great show and fine company, yes indeed tntracy. I believe Sharde Thomas’ band very much still exists, for last night in Charlotte was her final show of this tour; the van was to drop her off at an airport prior to her flying to Switzerland to join her band there. The Wandering has three more dates I think, including the Del McCoury festival.

    Last night’s venue was Charlotte’s The Visulite, site of a memorable Bottle Rockets/Lucinda show once, rescheduled from the original date because of Lu’s mother’s impending death. The house was significantly larger capacity than Eddie’s Attic of Decatur–and significantly quieter, deader. But the sound system was superb and the band members seemed happy up there. Shannon McNally mentioned that she had opened here twice in past.

    The Amy LaVere song in question is “The Great Divide,” from her new record. The Wandering also did a fine cover of “Died of Love,” a traditional song on Amy’s EP of the same title. She commented that no prior drummer had played as well on it as Sharde Thomas.

    Great reports!

    I saw Shannon McNally open for Mr. Mellencamp in 2002.

    Nice write up on Shannon from that time period.
