Thread Name: Bob Nelson in concert Sept 12/08 Seattle, WA
Subject: RE: Bob Nelson in concert Sept 12/08 Seattle, WA
I just want to report that
Bob did a superb performance yesterday.
Since his return to performing after his retirement
he just gets better every time he performs.
I got a glimpse of what the young Bob must have been like
singing at the Seattle coffeehouses in the 1960s.
He added some new songs to his repertoire -
The Poker Game and Dark Eyed Molly - in addition to
his signature song, Peter Amberly.
The only disappointment was that he didn't sing enough songs,
but we did get him to do an encore.

He was followed by John Weiss and Randall Walker
who also did a fine job of singing and playing
(JW on guitar and Randall on banjo).
They began with When The Whiskey's Gone, and
then did some Utah Phillips songs to commemorate his passing.
Randall sang some of his rare cowboy songs, and
JW had to do a request, Seven Beers With The Wrong Woman.

They had a great audience which joined in the singing.
And the Pacific Northwest Folklore Society
seems to be attracting a good following at its concerts.
I'll try and post some mp3s and videos on the web site soon.

Cheers, S. in Seattle
