No, I wudda told ya. I hope Geo's well enough for me to enjoy Elvin Bishop tomorrow. If he isn't well I won't go. No sense sitting there crying. I realize he's 16 and he's had a good full life, I thought I prepared myself but I'm still not handling this too well.

This time I did. Steve Forbert warmed up. He was good. He did a handful of good originals and some really good covers including 19th Nervous Breakdown. He played acoustic with an electric bassist. Shawn Colvin was solo acoustic. She was better than I expected. The longer she played the more I got into it. Her voice is great, her guitar playing's pretty good, her compositions are very good with the lots of little tasty hooks. She did a lot of talking inbetween songs. She talked about warming up for Sting recently and playing US Blues in Roslyn a long time ago among other things. She's very funny. People were constantly yelling out requests in between songs. While tuning, both she and Steve Forbert had a hard time staying in tune for some reason, she remarked about how good it felt to have too many songs to play them all and that she remembered when she only had 10 originals. The new setup at the Planting Fields is much better. The new tent is shaped properly. The old one was too oblong and didn't go back far enough. They have woodchips on the ground under the tent which is a little strange but I dug it. It was mellowest show I've seen in a long time. The venue and the crowd were incredibly laid back, it was unusual and strangely relaxing. Well, I'm not proofreading now, I'm just too tired. Oh, Shawn did a great cover of Every Little Thing She Does is Magic and played a new tune live for the 1st time.
