As regards the Earle/McCoury show, be aware that Del N M's
scheduled-for-months appearance at the Santa Fe Trails Bluegrass Festival
on May 7th isn't showing up on Pollstar anymore, so this is apparently the
only chance we're gonna get to see M for awhile. <g> The Freighthoppers are
still scheduled all weekend though, and Ricky Skaggs is in town that
Saturday as well, though not at the festival it appears.
And as far as our meager KC upcoming shows calendar goes, Monday the 22nd
Freedy Johnston is doing a show at the Grand Emporium. Sparklehorse and
Varnaline play the Bottleneck April 6. Merle Haggard's playing Station
Casino (anybody been to one of those casino shows? I don't know...) April
9. And I'd like to see Gene Watson at the Northtowne Opry on April 17th,
but I'll be at the Fools Face!/Rainmakers AIDS Walk benefit show that
night. And at Sebadoh's Bottleneck show, the night before. <g>
