Emmylou is so beautiful. How old is she? Yes, I will be watching the show. I have no idea what the show is like, I've never seen it before. But I am TiVo-ing it which means it can be put onto a disc. But, I have to say, that's usually not worth it. If you can see it, it's cool but those 3 minutes on...

All I would say is I know what I like and I like what I hear. Me too, VG. I'm not a guitarist so I can't really analyze or pick apart his performances but I'd agree that he's competent. Not one of the all time great guitarist by any means, but I do like what I hear. Like Noise said, it's just right...

It was a great show! I've never seen Emmylou Harris, and she was wonderful. Larry Campbell was as well. I especially liked Red Dirt Girl. Elvis was on. He looked great! He did some very nice guitar playing. (I think he has become quite the guitar player.) They played a great set....I liked the song ...

You are so very kind and generous to donate your time for such a truly worthy cause. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm going through my treatment now. We need people like you. It's such an incredibly wonderful thing to do for others.

I thank God for every single one of you!

I just don't know!

It's annoyed me though, that he's played a lot of different stuff in his set that I've never heard live yet and didn't play when I saw him in April, such as Kinder Murder and Blue Chair AND Sulky Girl!

Let me say...
