As a long time Deadhead and Cubs fan, this was a fun read. It was great to meet you at the Jim Lauderdale show the next night! While I was interrupting your evening with friends, I furthered the "Dead & Slow" trope when we chatted. I ended up having a solo night with nothing on the agenda and watched the first night at Oracle field live in San Francisco. I was thoroughly entertained and really felt like I'd missed out on a great tour. In the second set they had this Dark Star / Big River / Cumberland Blues amalgam that I still don't fully understand how they pulled off playing two songs at once. Pretty interesting stuff, and worth another listen down the road. So a big mea culpa from me, D&C looked like a blast from the show I was able to stream. Have fun with those new Zu speakers!
Excellent, Craig. Didn't know you were a GD fan, though I mighta. Donna G. so dug a record I made of Songs with Peter Monk that she brought me last October to Muscle Shoals to record with her favorite guys, and became a closer friend in the offing. If you like, you can check it out at frankgoodman-buzzholland.com, or I'll send you one. Still writing and recording a lot at 70, and life is good in Portland. Hope you and the family are better than well, and love to you all. Frank Goodman frankxx11@gmail.com
Loved this piece! As a long-standing Dead head from 1977 and Red Sox fan from 1967, I had a chance for the shows at Fenway but couldn't justify the expense! I've enjoyed your writing since I was gifted "Air Castle of the South" by fellow Nashville music folks, Stacy Scruggs and Luke Gilfeather
