Why read the CD info when you can just tell me? I have not taken it (theCD) out of my car CD player since I slipped it in there after the show. The Oxford show is still listed but if you say the joint is not there anymore that sounds like there will be no show to me.
Gearing up for Tim’s arrival tomorrow and our trip to the Hollywood Bowl tomorrow night so I will be getting into Neil Young mode for a while.
Let’s go with journal entries. I have decided to become obsessed with Shannon McNally and have ordered most of her CDs from Amazon. Amy later.
Stoger, perhaps you can enlighten me as to what band members were from which band. It seemed like the drummer, Shawn Zorn, was Amy’s drummer. What about the guitarist? We discussed his excellent polyester jacket after the show. A timeless wardrobe piece .
Last Sunday’s episode (not last night’s, which I haven’t seen yet) featured the band led by the violinist Annie doing a not too great version of Lake Charles. Annie is played by a real life musician named Lucia who is a great violin player, but she cannot sing a note. Why they decided to make her character a singer is beyond me. As most things are. 😉
I did check Wikipedia on our two fine friends and read that Shannon was born in Long Island! So the accent was not a built-in. And I found out Amy is also an actress. So there.
Also I forgot to mention in my post I saw Kevin Nealon of SNL fame wandering around the store before the show but I did not see him in the music room. I did not bother him and he was kind enough to not bother me.
You posted already? I just got home.
I was pleased as punch to attend this show. I had never before heard their music or seen them perform. First, a tasty dinner with fine Zinfandel wines with Mr. Stoger. Then a short walk to the music store where we were able to land 3 seats in front of the stage. Opening act Will Hutchinson entertained us with about 30 minutes of music, then helped take down all the chairs when the night was over. Double duty.
Speaking of chairs, I had never seen so few assembled at McCabes. They set up maybe 10 rows and put up a barrier behind them. No matter to us. We were treated to 90 minutes of excellent songs played by a great band and sung by 2 lovely ladies with fine voices. Stories were told about Memphis, North Mississippi, and various musicians from those parts. After the show, there was fine chatting with both ladies and their band. I left Mr. Stoger to drink through the night with them as I feel like sleeping before I go to work tomorrow and I was up at 6 to golf. Paul from Los Angeles slipped away quietly without fanfare.
As always, this website hits the road like no other. Safe journeys to Mr. Stoger and goodnight Paul wherever you are.
The show is at 7. We should be in line by 6:30.
There is a joint 2 blocks east of McCabes on Pico called Upper West. Wanna meet there for dinner/drinks?
I will be there by 5:30 if not earlier.

They released some more sections 101, 102, and 103 seats this morning and I got 2 under the roof for Sunday. I will give my upper section seats to my cousin and her girlfriend. 😉
I finished reading Waging Heavy Peace. It is very simply written. A blog really. But if you’re on the Neil Young trip it’s worth reading.
Stoger would give it a C+ at best. 😉
