Dead on, Lefty. What were you doing in 1971? How odd was what the Brothers were doing in 1971? How different, how off the beaten path? Add that to the grueling touring--selling this new concept via live shows, as opposed to radio air play? When you look at this music in context to the time when it was created, you get the real picture of what these young men accomplished in the very short window we had them as a group. Had a great time at Moe's Friday. Man, I really like that place. It's like a reversion back to the neighborhood concept. Lots of trees, residences interspersed with businesses. Lots of pedestrians. People came to Moe's with kids, were obviously a more educated bunch than my everyday world. Very refreshing, and good food too. Brent didn't mention that he only has partial vision in one eye, and was continually having to keep the sweat out of it in the muggy afternoon. First time I ever really listened to him solo, and was really impressed with his voice. He did some of the more obscure MTB stuff, killer Walking and Talking My Blues. Also some obscure Dickey, and several original compositions. Several on the resonator. They played 3 complete DVD's while I was there....music was on inside, video only outside where Brent and all the patrons were. North Miss. Allstars, DTB's Songlines, and a WSP DVD. Yeah....I like this place! Congrats to Rowland, Happy Birthday to Goliath. Good to hear Bluefox's Dad is back home. eapfp
