Last night I went to see these three young people, accompanied by the not-so-young Mike Dugger on guitar. It was a fun show. Charlene and Julian are a couple of promising fiddlers. I heard Zac play a few years ago with Glen Road when he was 19 and he’s grown a great deal since. A very talented guy. Nice guy, too.
I’m always inspired to hear young musicians that are dedicated to this kind of music. (Or any of the non-popular kinds, really.) Given what they would have to go through to make a decent living at it, I’d not be surprised to learn that they’ve moved on to something else in a few years, but I figure they’ve got a crack at it.
My original comment was (a) an expression of my enthusiasm about the promise of these very young musicians and (b) a re-working of one of the most famous lines in music criticism: “I have seen the future of rock and roll and its name is Bruce Springsteen.”
it’s great to get excited about new (or even not-new-but-new-to-you) bands. even better to give them a comfortable and safe place to lay their weary heads while on tour. good on you, Dale.
They need another name, I submit; also an agent. I’m available.
This is why I changed my own name to ‘Jim Stone’ from
‘Hymie Finkleboo.’ I wanted to play right field for the
Yankees and I knew ‘It’s a high fly to right field, folks…
Hymie Finkleboo is going back, back…’ wasn’t going to help
my prospects.
