Good stuff.
Very good lap steel work when Allison Crouse is onstage. (damn... did I spell that right??) |

Just watch the damn show fer cryin' out loud.
BTW.... I pondered whether to write "lap steel" or "dobro". The deciding factor was that the action seemed to be set about 2" high and the way it was held. The fact that it had a guitar body gave me pause, but I had to go one way or the other.
Perhaps someone will step up & volunteer to be my proof reader my??? |

I thought it was gratious of Artie to show up given his small roll in the event and the (IMO) cold shoulder he was given.
From the book I recenty read there was bad blood between them right from the early years. |

Sometimes you just gotta walk out on that ledge, Brad. You get props from me for the effort. ;) |

I didn't get to see Artie, but I'm not feeling like I missed much. His voice never did much for me...and that's all he's got. Not that Paul's that great a singer, but that's not what the show was about. Which would explain Lyle Lovette (who I also like) croaking out two numbers. |
