Bummer. I had heard NYC City Winery would be late Jan. 2023, right after the return from Europe, and that Norwalk might be squeezed in then. But I think Lucinda and the band decided to give themselves a [much deserved] break after Europe. Your day will come, seangod.

17 Faith & Grace
18 Rockin’ in the Free World [Lu abandons the mike and meanders stage right, so close to the edge that tour manager Travis has to come out and keep watch]I believe I’m right that, of Lucinda’s 13 studio albums, 11 were represented last night, surely a record number. Throw in one sure to be on the 2023 album, plus one cover, and a diverse night was clearly had by all. Oddly, nothing from the Rough Trade self-title album was trotted out.
Thanks for a great week: easymike, the smiths, laura, travis, and others I may have forgotten. It was wondrous.
Well listed, Sean. Night’s too long had a lengthy intro mentioning Patty Loveless and Robbie Fulks.
In front of Metal Firecracker Lu told a miniversion of the story she used during the Car Wheels shows.
The closest thing to acknowledgement of Ms. Lynn’s passing this week was the word “Loretta” in the course of Car Wheels.
I finally realized that the phrase “Dylan and The Boss” is in the lyrics of “Let’s get the band back together.”
The person seated next to me,one Laura from Nashville, called “Unsuffer Me” her “pandemic safe song.”
One more big night to go. . .

1 Are You Alright
2 Can’t Let Go

10 Are You Down
11 Pray the Devil Back to Hell [but with no Stuart violin segment]

14 Essence
15 Honeybee
16 Joy

18 RighteouslyQuite accurate a list, Mr. Keymaster. After the third song, Lucinda fretted about spoiling the dinners of city winery patrons with her downbeat songs, then spoke of the issue of whether to censor herself–before launching happily into those three days!
All in all, this crowd was pretty unresponsive, but the Georgian Flannery O’Connor got a hand when mentioned in intro to lake charles.
Lu compared “let’s get the band back together” to the movie Old School, which i am not familiar with.
Good to see forum members easy mike, railroad, and mrs. railroad.
There’s some talk about a late January Norwalk make-up, right after the return to Europe. Some of those New England shows were seasonal festivals I think, so the whole slate is unlikely to be redone.
So get the snowmobile ready. . . .
#1 and #5 would appear to be tour debuts, both from my favorite album.
Now if “lafayette” can get us through the KY/OH show with a meaty post, I should be able to carry the day in Chatt and Atlanta. . . .
Ah, if only Randy Weeks had named that one “It’s Over,” it might have been a career breakthrough for him! Thanks Tony & Alyssa.
More than underway I think, though not sure what the 2023 release date will be. Pretty much in the can, including some re-dos, I believe. And can we now rest assured that “Let’s Get the Band Back Together” is in fact a new song title? Whoo hoo!
No, but I’ll fish around. At any rate, I hope you get a FULL Connecticut show whenever that comes back around.
A kind of horse’s mouth told me about summer 2023, Dr., though Paris is the only city he mentioned. I think late June/July is the frame. Will keep the Forum abreast. . .
