Actually I did clone myself but it didn’t work out. Too much Tony.
Great show tonight at Castoro Cellars in Templeton, just outside of Paso Robles. Big crowd, which I think brought out the best in all the performers. Same format as last night, except David Olney and Sergio Webb earned an encore so their set time was 55 minutes. Sergio wailed on the guitar. Anne played for an hour. The setlist:
I Want You Back
Cars Hiss By My Window (Doors)
Lonesome Child
Milkman’s Daughter
Empty Bed Blues (Bessie Smith)
Bright Light of Day
Spring Cleaning in the Wintertime
Little White Cat
Voodoo Chile /Who Do You Love
HangmanSay Bye Bye
Homeward bound for me tomorrow, Anne heads north to Berkeley and Winter. Then Ventura on Thursday. 😀
David Olney was the opener. He played about 45 minutes. He was really good. I chatted with he and Sergio after the show; they were both very nice. The show was very poorly attended. Maybe about 50 people sitting in a church with the music set up on the altar (of Christ). Many of the people were elderly church members and near death. Anne played an hour at most, maybe less. The Bessie Smith tune was played with a slide on her acoustic guitar. Hangman was played on a lap steel and Say Bye Bye on her red ukulele. The rest of the show was half acoustic and half electric.
I went to Breakfast at the IHOP next to the hotel around 9 this morning and John Prine walks in alone and is seated at the table across from me. He played at Cal Poly SLO last night. I decided not to bother him, unless my mere existence did. He had 3 eggs over easy, hash browns, toast with white bread, and coffee, not that I was paying any attention, but in the name of good reportage, and that of the publics right to know, I include that here.
I have to find a place to watch the Bruins-Rangers game this afternoon since the hotel doesn’t carry NBCSN, after which I will make the 30 mile trip to Paso Robles and wine country.
Bitchin show from Anne tonight, the first of the Golden State Tour. David Olney, accompanied by Sergio Webb, opened and were also great. They are also from Nashville. Much colder up here than in my Ventura Country hang, good thing I brought a jacket. The setlist:
Empty Bed Blues (cover, Bessie Smith I think)
Milkman’s Daughter
Lonesome Child
Bright Light of Day
Spring Cleaning in the Wintertime *
Little White Cat *
Long Tall Story *
Voodoo Chile
HangmanSay Bye Bye
* From the new album being recorded while she is out here
I brought a friend who had never seen Anne. They want to go tomorrow too. I talked to Anne after the show with 2 fistfuls of drinks for us both, at which point she told me she gave up drinking a year and a half ago. Ruh roh.
Castoro Cellars tomorrow.
I like the fact that Doug is a “real man” but my favorite is this:
“The in-law into my mind tonight where the magic perhaps only momentarily present – but nevertheless we are witnessing a master songwriter with heart outside of the shirt. “
So there you go. 8)
I would call that a major news bulletin. Joe Henry has produced many grammy nominated or winning records, and is married to Madonna’s sister. 😀 🙄
