The S. The S. I’m stumped. But that’s good. The Stoger will know since he knows all.
I suspect TO meant “S” to = “Surprise,” but we’ll let the mystery reign. And Tony, you are often an info source prior to other disclosures, so I call you the closest to omniscient we have here.

I was debating whether to divulge what could be considered a surprise but it is only fair to those who might be thinking about traveling to this show to know what the deal is. I of course wouldn’t want anyone to go to great time and expense (albeit for a good cause) so I will answer The Stoger’s questions but that comes with the disclaimer that if you don’t want to know stop reading now.
The house band will be the great Crosby Stills Nash band and Lucinda was invited to bring a guitar player. Doug will be out of town so we have invited Jonathan Wilson to come and join the festivities. We just recorded The Pretender for the Jackson Browne tribute with Jonathan and Doug at Jonathan’s studio. In addition to Jonathan,the S (if you know who I’m referring to) will be sitting in on one and probably both of the songs Lucinda is doing. The S should also be a clue to one of the songs that Lu will be doing. So there you have it.
Hint to all: The cryptic “S” = Stoger –[NOT]

On Facebook tonight, Lu posted the following:
My favorite new southern rock band, The Kenneth Brian band is playing tonight 11:30 at The Dakota in Minneapolis!! Check it out! ox Lu
So, I Googled them, and found this video of their first single, “Welcome To Alabama”. I liked it so much, I ordered their debut CD of the same name from Amazon for only $7.99! 8)

We got there early enough in Birmingham to hear their pre-Lu set, didn’t we tnt?
Any updates on (1) Doug’s presence or absence; (2) the number of songs/amount of stagetime Lu might have?

Does anyone know where I can find the complete U.S. tour schedule for 2013? Thanks!
There are none listed at Pollstar.com for her, nor on TicketMaster, nor on her Facebook page under “Tour Dates”, so I don’t think any have been announced yet?
Tom
Surely our pal Paul (from los angeles) would have sniffed such a thing out and posted if so, eh mate?

I love that they list Lu first; they have their priorities straight. 🙂

Rex MontgomeryBorn and bred 18.5 miles from Bristol, westwords. Live 425 miles away now, but count me in. There’s another festival in Illinois the same month I think; perhaps TO can fill us in.
Not pejorative at all, but who started this “perfesser” stuff some months ago? One of the northeast upstate NY-Ontario boys, I suspect–and I guess it’s harmless enough. I wish I knew enough vocations of fellow Board members to coin some similar spellings, but I don’t. So all in good fun, Mr. Mordant-ator, keep those threads distinct and intact.

There has been a lot of other things going on . As I alluded to in another thread, Lu was in the studio yesterday recording for the upcoming Jackson Browne tribute record—she recorded a really amazing version of The Pretender. Although all of the overdubs haven’t been put on yet I would describe it as majestic.
Also very nicely noted in another thread, the Love For Levon cd/dvd set is out with Lu’s version of Whispering Pines.
The audio version of Woody Guthrie’s book includes a solo studio version of the song House Of Earth. It is the song that Lu put the music to Woody’s words-as she did with the Hank Williams. Who else can now say they have cowritten songs with Hank Williams and Woody Guthrie? I am inquiring to see if I might be able to release the song digitally. We also just got news that they are going to put out a dvd/cd of the Kennedy Center Woody Guthrie show from last Oct. Lu played House Of Earth with Val McCallum on guitar–ironically he was there with Jackson Browne and Lu asked him to sit in. I am glad that is coming out as Lu does a lengthy spoken introduction to the song -which was a personal request of Nora Guthrie- and it is very touching and also humorous.
Things just keep on coming -in the past week alone there have four more projects that Lu has been asked to sing on. Don’t know if we’ll be able to do all of them but we’ll see.
Just got asked today for the approval to use Born To Be Loved in a new upcoming episode of True Blood. It’s supposed to air in June- hopefully this won’t go the way of the songs that were supposed to appear in Nashville. Still don’t quite know what’s going on with that.
There’s probably something I am forgetting but I think that’s all the main things that have been happening.Well, I like “The Pretender” even more than “These Days,” so we’ll leave the latter to the likes of Greg Allman and Paul Westerberg and joyously wait for Lu’s “longing for love” over “the struggle for the legal tender.”
You ask for a Tom’s help, you get Toms X 2 . . . Mea culpa guys; obviously, May 3, 2012 was a day I was actually working a job or reading a book or living my life or something, for I don’t recall reading the flurry of cybercorrespondence on that date–with many Forum friends and acquaintances involved! It all adds up. I tried playing the record on my hi-fi today, and I will need the Tracy-deciphered lyrics to help me through, since my audio quality is so poor. Anyway, how could I cross Michael Chapman with Stephen Curtis Chapman?!? The clerk himself (he of the vinyl shop sans turntable) speculated that Chapman was “a bluegrass artist,” so we both blew that one. By the way, there’s another copy of this curio in the bin between West and Blessed, so perhaps Mike can train it down from Seattle long enough to scoop it up for seventeen smackers. The joys of retail shopping–records not shoes in this case.

Fyi, those of you going to see Emmy Lou and Rodney, if the Richard Thompson Trio is opening for them that night, you will recognize the bass player. His name is Taras Prodaniuk. Be sure to say hi to him.
Trio? Trio? That’s a higher proportion of stage space than he ever occupied with the Love Band–especially when the likes of Billy Watts and Neil Casals were [however briefly] along. I wouldn’t mind a hello either, though he wouldn’t cop to my Pig Latin handle.

And we got the title cut (ID on piano) and more the other night at the Aladdin Theatre of Portland, a former Lucinda venue. I saw no reason not to lay out of the evening session of a paid business trip, the better to bus it from downtown to this cozy venue with GA seating. Hot on guitar was Neil Casals, he of short-lived Essence tour fame, replaced in fact by Mr. Pettibone in the late spring of ’01, if memory serves. Dave Jacques (Son Volt; Anne McCue) played a mighty bass back of Iris, though I didn’t catch the name of the NYC-based pedal steel guy. We got covers of Jimmie Rodgers, Merle Haggard, and Pieta Brown (“my stepdaughter: y’all should turn off the TV and see her next time she comes through your town”). Iris also opined that while she had only been gone on tour less than a week, “my husband has probably already written 8 or 9 songs since I left.” “The Way I Should” opened the festivities nicely, and things rolled from there. She seemed happy to be out with a full band for first time in awhile, also to have released an album of originals fairly recently. I chatted with her a bit after, in fact gave her a boot of her BB King Club NYC 2007 show, with Jacques and Jason Wilber aboard. She said she has “a little box” in which to keep such things. Perhaps it was even a friendly Forum member who mailed me that gem five or six years ago, can’t remember: I do tend to receive such, always nice.
The solo opener was Emily Dunn, perhaps known to Pac. NW fans as frontwoman for The Olive Grove. She’s also in an outfit called Great Wilderness, which played a tiny club next night. I bought her/Olive Grove’s 2009 record Here’s a Letter, mighty fine. Sera Cahoone-caliber in fact, Paul.
No shoe shopping in this town though, must draw the line somewhere.
