Nice find Tom. So you ferreted it out, huh?

Ferreted, indeed. For some reason, I have this mental image of rodents in leg irons; fettered ferrets, as it were… 😉 😆

While I love the picture of Lu in her big honkin’ shades & tangerine blouse, the “review” is sorely lacking, IMHO. Not even a complete set list – I’d be particularly interested in what she played from Ramblin’ and Happy Woman Blues, but for some reason the set list excludes the first songs from the set. Maybe the reviewer got there late. Oh well, beggars can’t be choosers – that is all I was able to find, so it will have to do. I know one thing, we sure are spoiled here by the detailed & observant reports we get from the likes of stoger, paul_from_losangeles, Lafayette & Disco Stu, aren’t we? 8)

Hopefully, there will be more “out there” on tonight’s show in Baltimore… YES INDEED: WHO MADE THE RAMSHEAD SHOW?

Tom

Thanks for fettering this out, Tom: several different songs from recent shows. Anyone have a complete setlist? Baltimore should be a goodie–hope to get reports after tonight.

I wonder if Mary Chapin Carpenter will be there tonight? I was at the Whole Foods in Charlottesville last month, and none other than MCC was the customer in front of me at the check-out line. The cashier said that she owns a horse farm in the area. Have fun, Stoger! 🙂

I’ll keep an eye out, West Words, for organic produce and for MCC. Too bad she didn’t make the wedding. Rain may be imminent for tonight, by the way.

Great report Stu, both about Minneapolis and Milwaukee. I too was struck early in your Milwaukee setlist by the repetition from wedding night, but clearly she mixed it up from there. All these details are much appreciated. I will be in Chicago for nights two and three, so we’ll share one of those in common, it would seem. I believe Lafayette is two and three also, so you’ll have a surrogate ma figure for those Lu in mid career tunes. Though she looks more like your older sister in that photo which has generated so many outings of ourselves in the other Forum stream. . . Who’s making Bloomington? If I don’t miss my guess, none other than the youthful Lafayette Herself.

We had a great time meeting all of you! Beautiful night, hard to put into words what it meant to be there and have that experience. Looking forward to reading everyones posts about the night. I’m taking Sandy to the airport right now. Be well, Caroline

Glad you posted, Caroline, as there was some debate about the “y” versus “i” ending of your name, plus I had forgotten the six letter handle you told me you use on this Forum. By the way, I completely forgot too about those flowers you gave me to give Lu, just noticing them in my tweed pocket this morn. Oh well. HOpe you got some Lu face time, after 2:30 a.m.

As for “verbal prowess,” not sure I have this, tn tracy, but Paul’s account was quite comprehensive. We did hear two new stories (to me) of song’s origins, “Big Red Sun” referring to the name of an Austin gardening firm some of Lu’s friends started years ago, and “Concrete and BArbed Wire” penned at the time of the fall of the Berlin wall, about that event. During “Righteously,” Lu stumbled and said “I’m getting distracted looking back there at Tom; he’s so hot.” For some reason, Chet Lyster kneeled in front of Lu during two different songs, perhaps a lead-in to the clergyman’s appearance, perhaps an effect of his beverage consumption.

MOre will come to my mind later, but for now, good to meet Disco Stu, Sandy, Caroline with an “i,” and see again Lafayette, and Tn Tracy, and Paul from La and whoever I am forgetting. Oh, Bigsubi and Mercedes. Adios amigo y amiga.

Y’know, us’ns left behind do expect “red carpet” reports all night long tomorrow. How y’all manage that is your problem… (nudge-nudge, wink-wink).
Have a good time!

Do you accept Twitter, Lefty?
