The Montreal Concert was great too. Met Jesse in the rain as he was going in. You know you're getting old when you can't remember which DECADE you last spoke to someone.

I sang "Let it go" to him as I approached. "I was born in Memphis twenty-five years ago..." He squinted at me, laughed, and said, "Well, a bit longer..." LOL. We talked a bit, shook hands, and he dashed off for the sound check.

What can I say about the concert? He did many of his Classics: Yankee Lady, Biloxi, Talk Memphis...You have to wonder in amazement at the consistency of the performance, one brilliantly constructed song after another. Piano-like, tasteful accompaniment on guitar. And friends, you know this guy can sing. Fun rapport with the audience. A laid back, memorable show. Then I sat back in amazement and considered WHAT HE LEFT OUT...MORE great songs he COULD have done from his body of work...But there just wasn't time.

I got a picture after the show. Another with Maurice Podbrey...

Jesse has loosened up over the years. I told him that. It made for a relaxed wonderful evening...
