A heroin journey to heart ache
Can’t stop thinking about Lucinda Williams’ performance the first day of Jazz Fest – the kind of music that gets under your skin – Tom Marron was here doing some carpentry work for me – he plays the violin and played the fest with Little Queenie – he asked me what my favorite part of the fest was and I said Lucinda and he said him too. He said that the musicians who played with her couldn’t have played better – that the guitarist played perfect – the whole lot of them – Lucinda on vocals and playing and the band came as close to music nirvana as a person standing on the grass could ever want to hear at Jazz Fest – for that Lucinda I thank you – for being connected to this place, for assembling a first class band, and for being as Tom called her – a writer of songs that are above most anything.
