There is so much to draw our attention.
Living in the Valley, you will never lack for a chamber concert, a book signing, an art opening, a gallery talk, a gallery walk, a lecture, a reading, a play, a musical, a light opera, an a cappella performance, a ballet, a modern dance concert. Culture abounds.
Tomorrow night, Chris Smither will be playing at the Iron Horse.
I’ve written about seeing him in concert before. He is local, living in Cambridge, Mass; he’s around. However, a lot of folks have never heard of him. He’s been around a long time, has paid his dues, can sing the blues, is one-of-a-kind, an overlooked talent.
Why do I tell you he is playing around here tomorrow night? Why do I post videos and songs? Because YOU SHOULD GO TO HEAR/SEE HIM!
This is also why I prefaced my post as I did. Maybe I will see you there.
Damn Twink, had I read this yesterday when you posted it instead of right now I would have seriously considered driving up today.
I’m always late to the good parties. Enjoy it for me and if he does “Train Home”, don’t tell me.
You were close by? Have you seen him before?
I got crappy news….I have decided NOT to go! I am so lame!
It’s cold, I’m not too well, I have no date, and my kids are going to a show in an opposite direction. They need a ride so I’ve decided to take them and have a date with Paul instead.
I love Chris Smither so, but I also know he’s around here a lot and I’ll see him again. I swear I have been planning this night for about 5 months since I saw it announced. This happens to me sometimes when I make plans WAY ahead. Spontaneous works better sometimes.
So, I won’t be able to tell you if he plays that because I won’t have been there!
A date night with my husband is a pretty good alternative. I’ll take it.
Close is a relative term. I’m about four hours away but I had the time. A long time ago, when I truly had time, we’d travel much further than that to see The Boys.
Spontaneous is often better. I’m seldom disappointed when I plan on nothing.
You and Paul have a grand evening
