does anyone else out there think d&b's elektra and atco lps, only one in the
former case, were among the best rootsy records of the late '60s and early
'70s? motel shot, in particular, captured a rural southern vibe that goes back
quite a ways.
i was lucky enough to be one of the weasil's sitting onstage at the legends
show at fan fair '97. george jones, merle haggard, and johnny paycheck
headlined the morning portion. at one point the three of them did a song
together--a first, or so said jones. but i digress.
bonnie bramlett was waiting in the wings during the afternoon set, which
featured hank thompson and kitty wells. when wells strolled out like the
unassuming queen that she is, bramlett's heart could hardly stand it. she
started bawling uncontrollaby--convulsing with tears of joy. it was a very
touching moment, and proof positive that the much-maligned fan fair has more
than its share of epiphanies.
