Off to see the Del McCoury Band in Santa Barbara tonight

[Jack Roberts]

I'm expecting a great show.

[Jim Ferguson]

Man 'o man Jack......I am envious!!!! I am a Del McCoury Band fan for sure. Wish I was going with you.
Enjoy the show. I hope they do 1952 Vincent Black Lightening as well as Blackjack County Chains......two great tunes.
Peace,
Jim

What a great show! I was really looking forward to Ronnie McCoury's mandolin, and was not disappointed. But Del is a great showman. He really enjoyed being on stage and performing. I know with the lights he couldn't really see the audience, but he played to us as if we were sitting in the sofa in his living room. All smiles and "i'm so glad y'all could come." This is a skil a lot of younger performers have lost.

They'll be at UCLA tonight, but I don't know if tickets are still available.

What tunes did Ronnie pick? Quicksburg Rondevous? etc.

[Jack Roberts]

Sorry, Alan, they didn't announce many of the tunes, although 1952 Vincent was done, along with Nashville Cats, Kentucky Waltz, Deeper Shade of Blue, Prisoner's Song, and the "get on your knees and pray" song that stopped the show.

I'm so bummed I missed that- I live right in Santa Barbara and couldn't make it. They came into my buddies class at UCSB and he was able to interview that and have breakfast with them. Maybe next time.
