Needed to read that today. Thanks.

Things I thought yesterday.

Gawd I love a small village in a rural setting on a sunny warm early June day.

First Nations, pasty-faced second comers, bikers, bohemians, straight-laced conservative folks, an amputee in an electric wheel chair, service people:  everybody is really nice and friendly to each other. Everybody is so respectful.  Everybody is so patient.  

It all comes together and it can really give one hope hope and optimism for the future.  

I still think that today.

I actually thought about trying to catch that one because I have time to plan and relatives up that way that I would like to see.  All these small venues, though.....I'm gonna take a look when I get home.  Speaking of home...I guess I'll head that way,  Have a great weekend, OV and everybody.

AN EVENING WITH DARRELL SCOTT

All AgesSATURDAY, JUNE 10 Doors: 7:30pm // Show: 8:30pm $40 ADMISSION: 40
Flat Iron

Multi-Instrumentalist and Singer-Songwriter Darrell Scott mines and cultivates the everyday moment, taking the rote, menial, mundane, and allowing it to be surreal, ever poignant, and candidly honest, lilting, blooming, and resonating. The words he fosters allow us to make sense of the world, what is at stake here, and our place in it. And ultimately, Darrell knows the sole truth of life is that love is all that matters, that we don’t always get it right, but that’s the instinctive and requisite circuitous allure of things, why we forever chase it, and why it is held sacred.

Darrell Scott comes from a musical family with a father who had him smitten with guitars by the age of 4, alongside a brother who played Jerry Reed style as well. From there, things only ramped up with literature and poetry endeavors while a student at Tufts University, along with playing his way through life. This would never change.

After recently touring with Robert Plant and the Zac Brown Band (2 years with each), and producing albums for Malcolm Holcomb and Guy Clark and being named “songwriter of the year” for both ASCAP and NSAI, these days find him roaming his Tennessee wilderness acreage hiking along the small river, creating delicious meals with food raised on his property and playing music. He often leads songwriting workshops to help people tell their own truths with their stories, and is as busy as always writing, producing, performing, and just plain fully immersing himself in

Here June 10th, 40 buckos. That's cheap for that guy, especially in a bar with occupancy of less than 100. World of wonder.

Ehh. There's no such thing as "there." It's a process, but the hurt never goes away. It just kinda changes.

 Beez wrote:

Good morning. Yes he sure does.

Aaaaaand, now I'm sobbing.  

Still not there yet.  I'm trying though!

He did.  I will forever and always be reminded of him every time I listen to 'The Invisible Man'.  He did so much for so many people...and never wanted recognition for anything.  We found out about so much after he died from people that we didn't even know.  He was the best kind of guy.

  I wish Eventbrite would've sent the reminder about a week ago.  I just got it today.  I'm going to try.  Decatur is only 2 hours away.
