Here is a partial response for now to the survey. As far as missed cities in 08’………..PLEASE COME TO THE BALTIMORE-DC AREA! Still patiently waiting to get my fix. Tom, thanks for all the care and concern that you put into this website as is evidenced by the vast improvements lately. Again I’m casting my vote for Rams Head Live in Baltimore as my 1st choice of a venue in this area.
Thanks again for the info. I’ll be doing my homework and watching for any announcements into the new year.
IJ-Just read your reply today about Baltimore. That’s great news! Any idea whether it will be in the beginning of 09 or more into the Spring? Thanks for the uplifting news!
Thanks for the reply, IJ. I guess better to know than not to. Please tell Lucinda “Best Wishes” from Mike and Jodi in Baltimore (Lucinda autographed a set list for us at Rams Head Live on 7-29-07-A night I’ll never forget!)for a successful tour and we sure do hope that ALL of you can make it to Baltimore next year (or at least reasonably close).
Here’s something else I JUST NOW noticed. Look super closely on the side wall………..It says “Is God the Answer………Yes” ! I found another clue…………
Hey Everyone……….By doing a search on the book Juke Joint by Birney Imes and clicking on the 2nd link on that google search page, you can view some photos from the book. Now tell me, does one of the photos look familiar? Also, by doing the same search and by clicking “images” at the top of the Google search page, go 3 photos over and 3 down and click on the one with the 3 young men. Now look on yonder wall and tell me what you read. Look closely.
Hi Coffee. I don’t have the actual book but saw the photo on the internet that Lucinda got the inspiration for 2kool from. It was a few guys standing in what appeared to be a hole-in-the-wall juke joint. I can’t remember if it was all in one picture or 2 separate pictures but on a wall in a picture someone had written “june bug vs. hurricane”.
I’m pretty sure that Lucinda saw the phrase “june bug vs. hurricane” in a picture in the book “Juke Joint” which served as inspiration for the song 2 Kool 2 B 4Gotten. I may have heard her comment at some point that even she wasn’t sure of the graffiti artists’ meaning. (I believe it was written on the wall in a juke joint as I saw the picture myself). To me the june bug represents the old times in Mississippi and that culture and the hurricane represents the landscape being ruined by the building of casinos, etc. and lack of disrespect for times past and especially all the great delta blues that came from that time. Big corporations don’t care about sacred things like that as they only exist to be self-serving.
That’s great news! Thanks so much for the reply and for keeping us all informed with all the solid info. I’m very much looking forward to the new album and hopefully a headlining date in my area(but will travel if need be with great joy!).
My wife and I met Lucinda on 7-29-07 outside Rams Head Live in Baltimore. We waited outside the bus for about a half hour and Lu came out to speak to some people that were hoping to meet her after the show. This was our 3rd show that week and each time we were hoping to get a chance to meet her. She was very sweet and appreciative of her fans and spoke at length to several of us. I had obtained a copy of that nights’ set list and Lucinda was kind enough to autograph it! My wife and I also got a big hug from Lucinda. I was on top of the world! I still have trouble believing my wish came true. It’s so nice when someone that you admire so much in this world actually turns out to be for real. You can tell that she really cares about what her fans think and is very appreciative of us. We even got an introduction to Tom, her fiance. I’m so happy that she felt at ease enough to do that!
