mountain tyme Favourite Performances You Were Lucky to See (105* d) RE: Favourite Performances You Were Lucky to See 18 Apr 99


Been in the right place at the right time a whole bunch. Picked a bunch with Roy Acuff in the 50's when he did a lone act with the original Chevy Chase all over Europe. Picked some back stage with Hank Williams, Audry Williams, Reno & Smiley, Hank Snow, Monroe, Lester Flatt, Stanley Bros. @ Sunset Park. Picked several times a week with Dylan in 61-62 in the Village along with Tom Paxton, Carolin Hester, Buffy, Janis Ian, Richy Havens, Greenbriar Boys, Dave VanRonk an a bunch a'others who i've forgotten or never made it. Was watching Monroe on stage at a festival when he introduced a man he hadn't sang with in "25 years" and out walked his brother Charlie. Birch was on the double-bass an Jimmy Martin fancy jacket and all was on the guitar. Picked a bunch in the parking lot with Kenny Baker, Doc Watson, Wayne Lewis, Sonny Miller, Ed Ferris, Wendy Miller an the JMB. Went to see a friends band open for a "big name act" place was packed standing room only, hard to get a ciggy out of my shirt pocket and when they were done out walked Jerry Lee Lewis. This was his first gig after his fatefull marrage to his young cousin. His young wife just leaned on the back of that piano thru the entire set, staring into each others eyes anyone could plainly see them two really liked each other a whole bunch. The way they looked at each other still haunts me today. Tomorrow's another day but yesterday wer'nt bad!
