I don't even know how I recognized Joe. I was happy to meet him and Kuddie, and I'm sorry I missed Amos. And Charley, the Nevada City-Grass Valley area is much too upscale to have a No-Tell-Motel 6. Ir would more likely be a Highly-Discreet-Bed-and-Breakfast.

The concert appeared to be a great success. Phillips is locally well-beloved deservedly so) and Kendall was well received. My father was so moved by the story about Uriah Boardman and the seagull that he immediately started taking notes. I particularly enjoyed the menu description of the Donner Diner (though I'm afraid some of my neighbors would not; that whole story is still a touchy subject in my town). The wordplay could only be likened to Errol Flynn in "Captain Blood" with words in place of rapiers ( a much better choice IMHO).   Both gentlemen know how to command a stage with nothing more than their voices.

Hell of a good time.
