Yes, Asheville was great. I love the standing room floor much better than the seated theaters and the Orange Peel can’t be beat. Good to see all you “regulars” there. It was a long way from Birmingham but we were headed to Kingsport, TN to see family anyway. The energy from both the stage and the crowd was fantastic.
Gotta tell this..
This morning in Kingsport, driving my Mom to the grocery store, she decided to stop at Mac’s Medical for a prescription. As we were leaving, I glanced up to see Stoger behind the counter! I was dumbfounded and for just a moment, I was speechless. I stared a moment and said “Roger?” He stared a moment and said “Randy?” What an unbelievable coincidence! We rehashed the Asheville show a while and traded a story or two.
Still hard to believe this million-to-one chance meeting. The Lu family ties will pop up at the most unexpected times.Randy
Hi Randy, it was great bumping into you and is it Cathy or Kathy (?) again, even if I didn’t quite remember ya’ll 😳 from the Atlanta show, where I’m happy to say, no bumping and grinding at that show from women standing in front or behind me. I also met WW, stoger, and tnt that night as well!
First, great note taking and report, West Words! I, too, am glad you made it home. A 9 hour drive is pushing it for me…my limit is 8 these days.
Rainydayman, I regret not meeting up before the show. Next time, I hope. I love meeting fans, especially FF member fans. My issue was a late start, thinking I had a 5 1/2 hour drive, only to go into slight panic mode when I hopped in the car, plugged in my destination, and an extra hour I wasn’t counting on appeared on the GPS. It all worked out though as I arrived at the venue just shortly after doors opened.
The show, as reported, was absolutely smokin’. Lu & the band were firing on all cylinders. Even with the flub during Lake Charles, Lu laughed it off and just started the verse over. She was smiling from ear to ear with the audience response. It was my best show to date. They’re all good, this one was exceptional!
We, as in tnt and I, had an issue with some crashers. TNT was on the rail and I was standing slightly back from the rail, basically at a second row status. There was room between TNT & another girl to be a rail leaner, but I decided I liked the room so I could jam a bit. At one point, TNT offered his spot to some friends of West Words and he stood beside me and somewhat behind. At this point, some drunk girls came up and stood right in front of me/us. I was somewhat miffed but I could still see so I tried to let it roll off my back. At this point, drunk girl #1, standing right in front of me, kept shouting “I love you, Lu” and proceeded to start dancing and bumping into me full throttle. I couldn’t take it so I shoved her back with my body and she turned around and gave me some lip service and I told her she was bumping into me while she was dancing. She said “I’ve worked all night to get up here, I love her, blah blah.” So not only did she jump in front of me she felt like she could dance and body bang me, and it was constant. Truly aggravating. So we had more words and she said “I want to dance, do you want to get in front of me ?” I jumped in front of her, apparently she poured beer on me. I didn’t feel the beer but was told afterwards and sure enough, wet in the back. Then, tnt had words with her, he got in front of her, and he had a whole cup of beer poured on him. It was quite the night.
So, I’ve had one girl bumping into me (at the Columbus show) standing behind me, and now this one absolutely banging into me in front of me. Aaaahhhh…general admission shows. I love them, though, the energy of live GA show is unparalleled for me.
After the show, we met Bill Rouda, the photographer behind the book of the revitalization of Lower Broadway in Nashville, where Lu is the premise of the book and the subject of several photos. Lu also wrote the foreword.
Copies of this book available on Amazon:

This mixup is a good thing for me. Easier to make two shows with a break in between, especially with it being spring break.

There seems to be a conflict, TO, and as you can imagine, I’m stroking here in regards to the Cincinnati (Covington show). Louisville is now listed (on facebook and website) as April 22 and Indianapolis is April 21. What happened to Cincy? 😮
Lafayette, why don’t you “phone a friend” ?
i.e. Your bud John at WNKU must know by now where and when for Lu in Covington. 😆lwj
I did call him yesterday while he was on the air, after he played a Vic Chesnut tune. 😀 I was quizzing him, asking him if he knew Lu had written “Seeing Black,” relaying the story of Vic’s untimely death. He didn’t know the backstory on “Seeing Black”. I asked him if he was interested in seeing Lu when she comes to Cincy and he didn’t know she was making a Cincy stop. 😆 HOWEVER, he did tell me he was headed to South by Southwest and he was going to try to catch her in Austin. He wasn’t on the air today, so he must be Austin bound…

OK I finally got through to KY Center ticket office. The person I spoke with said that it’s a typo and the presale tickets are on sale Wednesday, March 16th, not today. Hope this helps someone else.

Thanks for posting these, tnt! Even better with “Blessed” being promoted with a banner underneath the photos.

“Stroking” or “stoking”. Lafayette?!?! 😳 😮 😯 😉
I’m guessing just a typo, Lafayette (regarding the show dates, not your reaction to same!) – TO will probably clarify shortly…
Tom
No… I meant stroking as in having a stroke. 😉 That term was coined by a Mellenhead friend of mine, on a train from Harrisburg to NYC. The train was late, her ride was impatiently waiting for her as they were running late getting to a JM show, and the train almost passed by her stop, so she called and told our friend she was absolutely “stroking” when she thought the train had missed her stop.

has anyone heard of any new shows being confirmed in early April ?
You had Chatanooga listed on your wish list of cities, will Knoxville work for you?
