The Music Thread

If you've never met anyone who has seen Zep....how ya doing? The Crunge. The Funk rock beginning.

 
I was fortunate to see Linda twice. I consider myself to be a lucky man.


Really like Linda Ronstadt a lot. She and the Earl Scruggs Review had a double concert in Carmichael. The concert started late because basketball practice ran long. When Linda started her part of the concert, she apologized for the late start and blamed the extended basketball practice. She got booed. She actually looked startled by the boos. But she went on and gave a great performance.
 
this thread imo, is for what hit you today. Well these hit me...


My first opportunity to see Bonnie was at the Agora in Atlanta back in the day. Unfortunately, she never showed and I had to listen to the opening act for 2 hrs...Catfish Hodge the worst band ever

But I did get to see her many years later at Memorial Hall.

Here is a great duet with Bonnie and Delbert McClinton:

 
 
This is my favorite solo album of his.



My brother and I went to see Lou at Ovens Auditorium in Charlotte in 89 when he was touring to support that album. We went down that afternoon and hung out, I swiped a shirt from rack in the basement that belonged to someone on the custodial staff, had a patch that said Ovens Auditorium on one side and a patch with the worker's name on the other. That night, after the show, I donned the shirt so I could get backstage, which I did. Spoke to Lou and Mo Tucker but at some point somebody tapped me on the shoulder and it was a guy wearing the same shirt. Busted! I told him why I had done what I did and gave him $20. He was pleased. I've still got that shirt but it doesn't fit me anymore...

Please indulge me telling this story as an intro...

I have a bucket list. On my bucket list was to watch an LSU football game on a Saturday night in Baton Rouge. Another item was to visit Richard's Club in Lawtell just outside Lafayette, LA to enjoy a night Zydeco music which was inspired from one of my favorite CDs

I got to see LSU play Alabama and it was a football game experience I will never forget

We had traveled to Richard's ( Reeshard's ) Club the day before and were taking pictures in front of the club when a young fellow approached us from the house next door and asked us if he could help us. I told him that it had my dream to attend a night of music in Richard's and was hoping to be here tonight for a night of Zydeco.

The young man told us he was Richard's son and that Richard died last night so the club would be closed. We expressed our regrets and were ready to leave, but he insisted that we come to the house and meet the family.

We sat for about 45 minutes and listened to the family tell stories about Richard and the history of the club that he loved. It was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.
