EMMY LOU HARRIS CONCERT





One of my Christmas gifts---yes, I am still working on my thank yous---was going to an Emmy Lou Harris concert with Louisa and Chantel.  We had amazing seats and it was a great concert.  I have great memories from it.  The gift was from Louisa.  We had a really special girl's night out, and saw some great artists in tribute to Emmy Lou as well as Emmy Lou herself.   I heard it will be a DVD and that will be great, but it isn't out yet.   There may be a PBS special, too.

One of the highlights for me was seeing Kris Kristofferson.  The last time I went to one of concerts was in the 70s when they had to stop it early because he was too drunk to give much of a show.  His voice has softened, but he is more of a steady performer now.

Sheryl Crowe was another highlight and Vince Gill provided back-up for almost eveeryone.  He really enjoyed himself.

Alison Krause, Mavis Staples, some new young bands.....and I could go on and on.  It was great!

The show was over 3 hours and we got our money's worth...or Louisa's.  Lots
