Thank you for the validation, Prof. stoger!
I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the vivacious presence of Eileen last night, a worthy successor to the legend that is Susannah.
Oh, and by the way, LWj & I both agree: Blake = MonsterDitto on meeting you, LWj — a pleasure. Let’s do it again!
Yes, indeed — during the latter stages of the show, Butch’s playing was, in a word, FEROCIOUS 8)
Even though baseball season is officially over, WW, to use some of that parlance, Lu & Crew “went yard” last night — crushed it out of the park; touched all the bases. My frame of reference for Live Lucinda is much smaller than many of you FF road warriors’, but I have not heard her in better voice.
stoger: is my use of an apostrophe after “warriors” OK by you? 🙂
“Sunday…partly cloudy…high 56…low 46…chance of precip 10%” This is tank-top/flip-flop weather for most Buffalonians!
So, stoger… 💡

Get thee behind me, tempters. I’ve done crazier junkets, but this one seems beyond even my means. Still. . .
…LWj & I will take care of the set list. You can just sit back & enjoy the music. Balmy temps above freezing with no snow forecast for Sunday! 🙂

This is what happens when you don’t go to every show, Stoger.

Join LWj & me Sunday in Buffalo, Roger!
Garland will be on NPR’s “Tell Me More” this afternoon. Check your local listings! 🙂

…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? 😉From 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.
