Saw Kelly Joe Phelps tonight

at the lemon tree from about 10 feet away. Damn, he's good, oh my lord.

I was more than a little dissapointed that he didn't play any slide at all- I'd heard through the grapevine that he was playing again. But, no. Fingerstyle only. Still, he's a monster player and that's his choice to make.

We did here a bunch of new tunes that are part of the new record he's supposed to do in February. It was good, as were the old standards he played- Capman_Bootman, Sally Ruby, bunches of other stuff.

So, I got my slide fix today by listening to 'Lead me on', his original release. Still stands up.

Oh, the club was about 3/4 full....
