….And when it does, hopefully I will be ready for my long drive. There is really not that much to get ready; just make sure I have enough clothes, the car is in good shape ( no reason to think otherwise), and I got my guitar.
My destination is Memphis, Tennessee, about a two-day drive or so, for the Ponderosa Stomp, a three-day celebration of rock’n'roll, rockabilly, and general carryings-on, at the Gibson Guitar factory in Memphis. This conclave is usually held in New Orleans, which is really not an option this year, but it’s being done for the benefit of relief efforts in New Orleans. I am going to be hanging out with some of my bestest buddies in the whole world, rooming with one of them, and listening to, watching, and meeting some of the greats of this unique music form. And a bunch of us will probably get together off in a corner somewhere to play a little bit. It’s going to be wild. Lest you think that ” the old guys” can’t rock no more, let me tell you otherwise. These guys can put it all together, amaze you onstage, and they don’t have to trash a hotel room to show you their soul. Stay tuned!!
