From Tom:
I guess when you have family in the house special things just happen. As great of a start as we’ve had on this tour Lu felt that this might’ve been the best of all. Just a great energy in the air and several songs that were played for the first time on this run. So many highlights: Jackson and Ghosts Of Highway 20 which have a great lyrical connection–and Temporary Nature which Lu dedicated to her mother in law. Lu sang that song at my father’s funeral at the request of my mother and that song now means everything to her. It was the first time Lu had played it in quite a while so things got a little misty during that one. And of course when you finish off the night with olds friend Bo Ramsey sitting in it’s going to be something for the ages -what could be cooler that Lu and Bo and band doing Mississippi Fred McDowell’s You Got To Move-and finishing up with a rousing Get Right With God, which Lucinda wrote as an inspiration from Fred. . As Lu was saying after the show “that was epic”. Yes -it was.

No rain! No rain! No rain! Finally. For the last three times we’ve played in KC at The Crossroads it has rained, and not just a little -and we’ve still had amazing fans who came to the show, so we knew if we could play some time without interference from the weather it would be great. And finally we got a regular hot KC summer night. And hopefully some of those people that stood out in the rain for those past shows were for this one. After announcing the show we got a lot of messages saying that they love going to Knuckleheads and that proved to be true as we had a great packed house. We were given a heads up that the train goes by every so often so we were ready for it -and what’s not to love about a train whistle. The first time it came by it had perfect timing -it came right during Stuart’s great solo on Burning Bridges -which was great because later we joked with him about how he could make his guitar sound just like a choo choo train-what a genius.
All we can say is thank you KC for hanging in there with us -we finally got a chance to do you right.Sorry everyone about all the old emails you are being bombarded with. Please just delete them. I’s being worked on.
Thx for your patience and understanding. If there were an emoticon I would use it here.
Ya I pinched the sides too tight. User error. I put myself down for a self-flogging. There is no delete feature that I can find so my shoddy work will stand for all eternity. Did I mention I was blotto?
Thank you Mr. Stoger for your question. I am pleased to reply. After 126 attempts to cut and paste your set list from your email to the Forum, I decided to take a picture of it with my IPhone and then email it to myself. I then did this with the other lists. Depending on the length of your list, I resized the picture accordingly. Then I uploaded the image to Tinypics, which was either successful or I got that stupid moved or deleted message. Then I pasted the URL into a forum message, which either did or did not appear. Add the fact that I was about 80 sheets to the wind by this point and I think you will understand that consistency was not possible.
No bill will be submitted since, as co-moderator, my work here is a labor of love (or hate, as it were).
Yes I’m bored.
