Music week: Tab Benoit regaled the crowd with his guitar at the Blue Note last Thursday night, followed by Willie Nelson's Country Throwdown at The Midway Expo (a.k.a. Redneck Woodstock) on Friday night. We got there early, so we could get rained on, and then retreated to my pickup to listen to my favorite classic rock radio station for an hour and a half, while hail and 60 mph winds passed through. Apparently only the sane and sober sought shelter. The crowds inebriation level ratcheted up a few notches in our absence. But it was for Willie. He was awesome. Willie was joined by his son Lucas Nelson on stage. Lucas is a pretty good blues guitarist. I expect we will see more of Lucas.

Pat at our first stake out, where we listened to
Branley Gilbert and Lee Brice. New to us.
They play country music,

The clouds and the crowds began to gather. Both grew
thick and thunderous. |
