Do you know how many are at a table Grumpymama?
edit: Ooops answered my own question. 4 seats would be $138.96 each.
According the the Henry Miller Library website, there is pre-sale for tickets to Lu’s 6/29 show in Big Sur today at noon pacific at folkyeah.com. I don’t see anything about a password required. 😉

LWj, Austin is next week, eh? 🙂
Oh, the Johnny Cash thing. Forgot that was in Austin. 😳
Every once in a while something comes back to me Lefty. I had also seen Hot Tuna at the same place just a few weeks before or after this show and whoever didn’t open for The Band opened for Hot Tuna.
edit: corrected band name
Tim and I saw The Band on their last tour, on August 29, 1976, at the Music Inn in Lenox, Ma. Tim and I were still young fellers and not burned out or fucked up yet. The Band had played the same place about a month earlier and something went wrong, so they came back. Tim told me why at the time, but memory has now failed me. I also forget who opened, it may have been the Fabulous Rinestones, or it may have been the Richie Furay Band. The site was basically a farm with a stage at the bottom of a hill. Spectators sat on the hill and looked down at the stage.
I remember the Band’s performance very well, especially Garth Hudson’s sax solo on It Makes No Difference. Very awesome. Levon and the others were all great. Garth went crazy on the keys all the time and sometimes all you could see was the top of his head because he was bent down under the keys going insane.
The drummer who went to England with Dylan and The Band, since Levon didn’t want to go, is named Mickey Jones and he lives in the same town I do now. So there.
Goodbye Levon.
