Ok, some of you have no clue who Blackberry Smoke is, but if you do, you’ll know what I’m talking about. What an amazing show! These guys have been around for about 25 years and are probably the best rock band, a lot of people don’t know about. Tonight, they’re playing at the Ogden Theater in Denver, and they’re so good, we thought about driving down for another show. The only tickets left though, are general admission, so sadly we’ll pass.
Lori knew a bunch of their music as I play the shit out of it in the truck. Melanie knew a couple songs from the radio, and I think Marty was a virgin. They all loved the show. Thanks to Gerry and Marci, who are big patrons of the Vilar, we had the best seats in the house. The seats are the ones they have for every show, all year long. It’s basically a box with four comfortable chairs, tons of leg room, and no more than ten feet from the band on stage. That makes it even better.
The opening band, Cousin Curtis, which was two guys, was also great. Blackberry smoke played a good two hours and was right up there with the Stones, in their own way. Marty and Melanie lucked out as James and Addy were supposed with us, but the show was rescheduled from March 28th to last night as the drummer passed away in early March. Great time, Rock On!
In other news, they’re still trying to get rid of Old Joe. But like a stubborn old man, he doesn’t want to seem to go. I think they’ll eventually kick him to the curb, but what a mess things are right now for the Dems. I think they’ll try to slide in Kamala, but she is even worse. All you can say is, wow!
Beautiful morning up here. It’s going to be super-hot in Denver the next three days. Our a/c guy, Oscar, showed up and switched out a capacitor for no charge and we’re back up and running, just in the nick of time.
Ty works today and so does Jag. I was running down to Denver but think I’ll wait until Tuesday when I get the oil changed on the truck. That’s it for today, have a great weekend, and God Bless.
