See you there, lwj. Any Fran’s franchises across the border? Multiple Williamses, bring it on. And your subject line was a joy to read: may it be followed up by the need for many many more in this thread.
No Fran’s (only in Canada eh!) but Ann Arbor being a University town I’m sure there are umpteen pubs / restaurants nearby Hill Auditorium.
Just wondering-Michigan straddles the Ontario border so maybe Lu’s Festival appearance is only the beginning of tour 2013 or merely a one-off in Ann Arbor.
I’ve never seen the other Williams perform but Dar puts out some great folk tunes.
With so many artists scheduled for the night we might only get 3 or 4 Lu tunes just like Bridge School.Here’s a pic of historic Hill Auditorium-capacity > 3,500.

Copied from Lucinda’s Facebook for tonight in DC
LUCINDA TO PERFORM NEW SONG CO-WRITTEN WITH WOODY GUTHRIE AT KENNEDY CENTER IN DC:
At tomorrow night’s Woody Guthrie 100th Birthday finale at Kennedy Center in DC Lucinda will be performing a never before heard Woody Guthrie composition cal…led House Of Earth. The lyrics, from 1947, were sent to Lucinda several months ago by Nora Guthrie, who wanted to know if Lucinda was interested in putting music to the long lost words. Written from a female perspective, more specifically a prostitute, the dark House Of Earth is unlike anything Woody had ever done and Lucinda was thrilled to be asked to bring these lyrics to life. As mentioned of above this will be the first public performance of the song.
House Of Earth is also the title of the upcoming previously unpublished Woody Guthrie novel being released thru Johnny Depp and Douglas Brinkley’s new publishing venture, but apparently that is all the book and the song have in common.-Lucinda mgmt

Bettye’s version of”You took my Joy” starts at the 36th minute of the full 1&1/2 hour show on You Tube.
Enjoy. Looks like a great concert at the Troubadour stoger.

:+) is another option, but you’d think the nose is broken or hurt.
that’s all i have to say, really.
pdl. How about these smiley faces from the New Yorker Festival ?[attachment=0:1s2mje77]Tom and Lu at New Yorker Festival.jpg[/attachment:1s2mje77]

Thanks, lwj. Anyone with comments on the verbal component of this event?
A short blog from the Back of the House.
Last night I was lucky enough to be treated to The New Yorker Festival’s conversation with Lucinda Williams. I wasn’t her hugest fan, but appreciate her music and Southern heritage. Lucinda was being interviewed by Ariel Levy, who I am now equally infatuated with (more on that later). There wasn’t any wine being served, and after being at a 3-year-old’s birthday party in Long Island all day, I was a little afraid I was going to nod off. But, as soon as Lucinda came on stage, I was captivated by her laid back, content approach to the interview, and really, to recounting her life in general.
She didn’t really start pushing her music unapologetically until she was in her mid-thirties, didn’t get married until she was 50 (without a wedding in the South no less), and was wearing extremely chic black denim. Though she has had her share of hardship to wade through (her mother was mentally ill, both of her siblings currently are), a long list of failed dirtbag relationships (many who had ended in death), she never once positioned those experiences in an overly negative light. There wasn’t any need for pity, she didn’t make any excuses for her past. This was merely her life, and here she was, still creating, still penciling on black eyeliner.
As an unwed, creative, emotionally-exposed woman in her thirties, it was inspiring to see someone who has lived and was still living such a full life on her own terms. It was refreshing to listen to someone speak respectfully of her life, not operating on a societal timeline. A nice reminder that if you are lucky, there is a lot of life to be lived.
After the interview, Lucinda performed the song above—Side of the Road. She had to restart it three times because she was a little under the weather, which resulted in me on the verge of sobbing uncontrollably. I’m happy to report she is still rocking this hairdo in 2012

“Born in Ontario”. So was I.
I’m watching the rebroadcast now on Youtube tonyg.
What a crowd. The round mega screen is cool and like you reported it certainly is a high def.broadcast.
Boy, talk about an elongated ending to “Walk Like A Giant”
Can’t wait for “Rockin’ in the ….”
I would bet when you attend both Bridge School concerts we’ll see Lu and Doug on stage for “Rockin’lwj

Lafayette, sure hope you and your DH have a grand time in Hershey, Pa this Saturday for Farm Aid.
Looking forward to your usual colorful report.
I’ll be tuning in to the live webcast Saturday night.lwj
The webcast came in clear as a bell, Lafayette.
During JM’s “Check it Out” the camera panned the crowd by the stage for a few seconds but you were nowwhere to be seen like other years.
Ms. Potter for the guys was certainly great on the eyes.
Every weekend I support my local Farmer’s Market.
Hope you had a great time and did you visit the chocolate factory there ?lwj

It’s my sad duty to report that Zoe was a mere 126 miles away, performing in Rochester last night at the Abilene Bar & Lounge, and I was unaware 🙁
She’s in Buffalo tonight, LWj, at the Sportsmen’s Tavern 💡
Say “hi” to her for me!Lefty, IF ONLY you had posted this early Friday when I checked the Forum before I went to work, I most certainly would have phoned the Sportman’s Tavern (been there before-cool venue that serves Buffalo wings) for ticket availability.
After work I got invited for dinner at my neighbour’s and didn’t re-check the Forum.
Ah, yes I remember the Abilene in Rochester-went there before and after Lucinda’s show across the street at the East Harrow Ballroom back in March ’09. That’s where Susannah told me you were wearing a pink and blue shirt. 😆Anyway, I looked at the Sportsman’s concert listings and I can go see Gurf Morlix for $10. this coming Tuesday.
On this rainy Saturday afternoon I’m going to console myself by watching a full 1 & 3/4 hr. concert from Leiden, Holland Feb./12 with Zoe.
By the way, I found out Zoe opened last night for the Western NY band “Big Leg Emma.” Sure looks like I missed a great show so close to home.
Videos to enjoy.
Zoe in Holland.
