Please allow me to hijack further. August 3, Englert Theatre Iowa City. Backstreets, are you hip to this?
Am I hip to the hijack or to the date?
To answer the hijack query, sure, I’m hip.
To answer the date query, I may be out of town July 27 – Aug 5, still working on details.
I’ve been out of the loop, life things. Thanks for the heads up!
I had an inbox post and twitter is now lighting up with an Aug 5 show at Purdue. Damn. I’ll probably miss Lu’s August shows unless there are dates between Aug 5 – Aug 11 that will work for me. Fingers crossed.
General On Sale is June 9 for the Purdue show. I’ll update the summer thread ASAP.

Apologies for hijacking the Winston-Salem thread.
Okay, thanks, Tom. I was wondering if I should post. It was very personal, but I did think riveting. I’ll delete if you think best. Anything posted in the forum, I believe, can be pulled up when doing google searches with the right key words.

I agree, Viv. Good idea on starting this thread.
I found a piece on Lucinda written by Bill Buford in 2000 for the New Yorker. It certainly chronicles, in detail, much of the stories behind some of the songs and detailed personal information, as well. It’s very riveting. I found this months ago but never posted, after stoger posted a set list with a bracketed entry behind Lake Charles. The comment pertained to Lu talking about pawning a guitar and he had never heard that story before (something along those lines). I went ‘in search of’ and found the article.
“I’m sitting in Lucinda’s house in Nashville, going through three meticulously organized volumes of photographs. Clyde appears regularly, a big fleshy man with a flap of dark hair and round cheeks and a barrel chest. Lucinda points out Clyde’s characteristic pose—arms thrown out wide, a come-join-the-party look. There are pictures of the two of them in Austin. “That,” Lucinda says, “is when Clyde persuaded me to pawn a rare twelve-string guitar so we could get food and beer” (whereupon the pawnshop burned down, a typical Clyde touch of fortune).”
Here is the article in it’s entirety. Bill Buford would be a great collaborator, IMHO.

Lu mentions she is getting ready to start on her memoirs?!!

Any other possible Midwest dates? KC, Omaha, anywhere in Kansas!?
I can’t speak for Tom, Mike, but a bus can’t get from Boulder (31 July) to Birmingham–er, I mean Atlanta (Aug. 10) without hitting up the Midwest in some sense. I believe dates will be announced soon; I figure to see you in August!
Oh, I could miss this little run to the Midwest, or thereabouts. I may be out ‘West’ !!! Noooooo…… 😯 🙁 👿

Wtf indeed.
Sounds like everything (?) was recovered.Yes, it appears so, PLUS Eric F posted on his FB page that headline grabbing ‘ZOMG’ Lucinda’s Guitars Were Stolen was more dramatic than it sounded.
Must be a slow news day in the music scene.

Yikes. So no guitars missing or what?
Edit: nothing was stolen.
…and according to a FB post by Eric F, tour manager du jour, the article was more dramatic than it sounds.
I would be freaking….
Thanks for the report!
In the WTF news…
Guitars stolen from Lucinda Williams tour bus.

I learned those brackets from the best.
The font move was bold on my part [there’s a first time for everything]. 😉
And, an after thought, after reading the notes from the Atlanta set list.
The intimate setting description of this St. Louis show at the museum reminded me of the Stuart Opera House show in Nelsonville, OH I attended 6 years ago with Lu solo acoustic. Lu has played there since then as full band, several times.
Here is my recording of “Memphis Pearl’ from that show.
