Kendall & Jacqui at Hall of Fame

Last Saturday afternoon, Jacqui and I did a set at the Maine country music hall of fame in Augusta Maine.
A number of people were pleased with what we did, and three of them even asked for my autograph! It's sweet to be remembered.

Losing my singing voice was bad enough, but now, I have something called Polymyalgia Rhumatica. Thats a $50 word for pain in every joint.

Wow. I'm sorry - I know something about joint pain. When I was battling lupus (been in remission 30+ years!) that was one of the ever-present symptoms. Hope they find a blanket solution.

We did 15 minutes. Kendall started with Golden Guitar, I did Mama Fried and then we performed Phoebe Snow together. It seemed to go over quite well.

Kendall's on a reducing course of steroids for the Polymyalgia and our doctor says that, by the time he finishes the course, he will be cured.

Hi Peter - I apologised to the audience in advance, in case there were any who didn't like parodies. Just said that I did. Came off stage and one of the guys said "I like that version better". We did credit you with authorship.

I was inducted into the Maine hall of fame back in 1995, but this is the first time I performed there.
It's a totally different audience for what I do.

I'm glad to read that you two are out performing! It may not be your usual audience, but introducing new groups to your work is a good thing!

I figure Kendall for several bad habits, but joints ain't one of them : )

This getting older, Kendall, is just not all it's cracked up to be. Who can we sue?

excellent comment, Charley.

congratulations Kendall & Jacqui for your appearance at the Hall of fame!

It's good to hear that you are on medication that will stop your pain.

Dani, is loving you a bad habit? :-)

The meds ease the pain but do nothing for the stiffness.Shut up Spaw.

I couldn't help but notice that all during the other performances, people in the audience were gabbing away like the performers were just background noise. That always irritates me.
Then after our set a newly inducted member said to us, "That was great, you could hear a pin drop out there"!

Same guy, years ago, said the same thing when I did The band played waltzing Matilda in my set at a bluegrass festival.

It always makes me wonder why people pay to attend something if they are going to spend their time chatting or texting or speaking on their phones, but we are living in the ME ME ME world.

Fortunately there are enough old-fashioned folks around who like to listen. I prefer to hang around with these folks.

Ii agree Sandra - even at free events I go to listen to the songs. I know of a few people who can't seem to get that idea and want to sit and talk at me while others are performing. I say talk AT me because, even if I don't answer them they just keep droning on. One of these days I'm going to forget politeness and tell them where to go!

At this event there were a couple of women at the table behind us who yapped and cackled all the way through every performance. Very annoying!

They are not music lovers, they are groupies.
