Excellent pictures Nancy!

Completely different vibe from Portland. Even more hot and sticky, but the air conditioning was working in the theater. Lu came out all smiles and showed great energy all night. Good crowd. Doug was on electric guitar on Greenville, rather than pedal steel as he was in Maine, and the song featured a “missing verse”, according to Lu. Are You Down was the best version I have heard, all 3 fellers playing hard. As the web interview stated, Lu called it Carlos Santana mixed with Sade. Good description. During the first Righteously, the band started the song before the lyric sheet was located. The band vamped at length before Lu waved it off. Lu went to the side of the stage and grabbed her lyric book back. “Now I’m a comedian”, she said. The rest of the show proceeded superbly. Lu seemed to not want the evening to end as the appreciative crowd applauded.

Towards the last few songs the aisles were filled near the stage with dancers; regular people doing conventional dancing. Mercifully. I met a website denizen named Chris. Great to meet ya! I got to bed at 2 am.

I am at the airport in Manchester NH, and it is pouring out so hard that the roof is leaking and there is water on my iPad. I have been told I will be lucky to leave here any time soon and I can forget about my connecting flight to LA in Chicago. Super. Note to self: never go anywhere.

Great to see everyone and I hope whoever attends the next few weeks of shows has as much fun as I did.

Thx I always wanted to join ! More tonight.
