@TracesofTexas Don Walser told me that when he was a teenager his dad drove him from Lamesa to Midland to see Lefty play. When they got to the venue they found out Lefty was the in the local jail. The concertgoers took up a collection and bailed Lefty out so he could do the show.
@johnvarney1 @JVMonte2 @ChrisStapleton Not exactly “opening” but I played right after The SteelDrivers at a Canadian festival.
“Happiness is not simply material comfort, though access to basic necessities should be a right to all no matter where they are born. It is extending the protections and promises of this once bountiful land of hope and dreams to all. We strengthen and buttress our identity as a nation by being brave enough and big enough to include all who seek to join us with a seat at the table. Fulfillment comes from doing the next right thing; this works for both individuals and countries. That is what Woody Guthrie meant when he sang, ‘this land belongs to you and me’, the legendary folk singer who also penned ‘Deportee (Plane Wreck At Los Gatos)’ about another regrettable chapter in our nation’s shameful treatment of immigrants. Woody was no pollyanna when it came to injustice but a true messenger of hope, bearing a reminder to the people, all the people, that our genesis as a nation includes them too - and not to let any cynical, greedy, in-it-for-themselves corrupt politician tell them otherwise. Ever. Stand up. Speak out. Share truth. Guthrie was also no fan of Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump Sr. and wrote two songs about his wretched landlord’s discriminatory practices in the early 1950s when he lived in a Trump building - Beach Haven, in Coney Island. But I digress. I’ll write about my years on the folk festival circuit as a road manager and my associations with the Guthrie family another time. But whether it was Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie or John Sebastian, my ears always perked up when the Woody songs and stories came out. One of my favorite memories from those days was a tribute concert to Woody Guthrie at the Kennedy Center to celebrate what would have been his 100th birthday. Jackson Browne performed along with Rosanne Cash, John Mellencamp, Lucinda Williams, Tom Morello and many others. Back at the Foggy Bottom boutique hotel after the show with friend and folk singer Joel Rafael, who performed as well and is great ambassador of Guthrie’s legacy, we were in the tiny little elevator when none other than Ramblin’ Jack Elliot stepped in with us and started chatting. Ramblin’ Jack was one of Woody’s closest friends and traveling companions, falling under Woody’s spell when he was 19 years-old. He learned to play guitar and sing from Woody himself, spending nearly two decades under his tutelage, and also mentored a young Bob Dylan. Elliott was still going strong and carrying the torch back on this night in the fall of 2011. It reminded me of the resilience of what some might think of as a modest tradition. There’s a strength in an American music that very much belongs to the people who make and consume it. Much like jazz and blues, in folk there are elements of all sorts of cultures that get mixed up in a truly unique gumbo of graciousness and earthy illumination because, elementally, that is what speaking truth to power through the arts is: an act of gratitude in the face of enormous challenges and outright evil.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasler…
@johnvarney1 Congrats. Just a few more months for us.
@ThunderRdFan99 @softtail65 When Slaid Cleaves, is he bringing together or tearing apart?
@johnvarney1 @Babywwir 19. My family never owned an encyclopedia. But we did have a black and white TV with “rabbit ears.“
@tomricks1 How long did it take you to read Suttree the first time?
A reader wrote to me and said that, ever since I posted a @slaidc song last year, she's gone down a rabbit hole of Slaid's music. She thanked me for posting the song. Aren't you soul gladdened, somehow, when something really speaks to you and you turn somebody else on to it and you may have completely forgotten that you ever even mentioned it but then later they thank you for it? You think "hey, somebody else out there gets it," like you have a new spiritual kinsman in the universe. It feels good. Shown here: A photo I took of Slaid onstage at Poodies Roadhouse in Spicewood back in 2017.
@LACKIMELODIE Thanks, Johnny. Maybe Portland in October …
That’s Beatrice the duck. Guarding my gear, and a couple of eggs, at the entrance to the Holiday Inn in Tomball, Texas.
@ThunderRdFan99 @ThatEricAlper What an honor, Joe!
@RobbieFulks Our old stomping grounds. Mention Karen and Slaid for a smattering of applause …
@johnvarney1 @JVMonte2 Wow! My mom took me to see Southside Johnny when I was 16.
@TracesofTexas I moved halfway across the country to Texas pretty much just to open shows for Joe and try to learn the trade.
@johnvarney1 Thanks! Not likely. Staying close to home in semi-retirement.
@johnvarney1 A few years ago I heard that a girl used that verse in her Bat Mitzvah.
@TracesofTexas I lived next to Oakwood for 12 years and got to know the names of some of my “neighbors:” Prosper Humbert, Ainsley Simcock, Asher Smoot, Rispah Redd, and Olivia Manlove, to name a few I remember.
