Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | A few OFC members rallied to catch Richard Thompson's "1000 Years of Popular Music" at the Nokia Theater in Times Square last night.
Unanimous praise by all attendees for this show that features just three muscians... Percussion, keyboard and of course masterful guitar, all sharing vocals, as the perform selected songs from popular music starting from the year 1090ad thru to 2006.
For those of you who appreciate music history, terrific arrangements, stellar musicianship and heart stirring vocals... This show is HIGHLY recommended.
pictures to follow on the "gatherings" area. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I'd cross the street to see him, and did a couple months ago. Jeff, next time he's playing the Egyptian in Boise, you might be able to fly out and see him for less than it costs to see him in Times Square. I'll pick you up at the airport and we can park in my spot across from the theater. |

- as it SHOULD be.
It was a GREAT Show!!!
And it was made all the better by having a (much relieved) FactoryEmployee in attendance while we celebrated the GoodNews at dinner before the Show.
It was a VERY FunEvening all around!!! |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Yup. It was my very first time... Clifford was every bit a gentlemen.
Saw some nice Taks (including 'cuestick Bass) and a nice HD28 and a great sounding... wait for it.... Taylor 12 String...
However, the coolest guitar was at Sam Ash- a short scale, parlor-size Anniversary Model Washburn... don't laugh, it was a great sounding little guitar. Beautiful tone and amazing volume. I want one.
Among the "local haunts" was the Towne Tavern which, Cliff believes, we could totally overrun with OFC miscreants and very little resistance for another NE/Mid'lantic Regional Jamboree....
My thanks to Cliff and Jeanette for not only their gracious hospitality but also, the two best nights of sleep I've had in a very long time.
Also, to Kim and Amy for making the trek. It was great to see you both again- especially on a "good news" day.... |
