a good time
Two weeks ago I was listening to WFWM on the weekend, where they play really good roots and bluegrass music, and I called in and won a pair of tickets to an event that I went to last night. It was a performance by Darrell Scott. I'm going to try to describe it, but I'm not sure that there are many words to give him justice. It was the BEST performance of anything I have EVER seen. He plays his guitar and sings, and it just rips your heart out with its pure beauty. I have been listening to him all day now. I cried a little a few times through the night, but the last song is what pushed me over the edge. I don't think there was a dry face in the whole audience, and we couldn't even clap for a second after he stopped. But he got down off the stage because the acoustics were so wonderful in The Palace and stood on the floor in the front with his guitar, and raised his voice and let it go..it was just gorgeous. Check out 'A Crooked Road', 'When There's No One Around' and 'This Beggar's Heart' (that was the last one)if you have time. I've been abnormally tenderhearted lately, so maybe that's why I was so moved..it was really great.
