How was the show? I'd love to see them again, after having seen Ely a few times solo since the last Flatlanders show here.
Very nice. Great stories & excellent music.
Ely told a story about driving across Texas many years ago & picking up a hitchiker who turned out to be Townes Van Zandt carrying a sackful of vinyl LPs.
He did play with Paul Butterfield's band.
and Little Milton, IIRC, v. early on.
And in a different vein - Gil Evans.
Also for those who are old enough to remember, he had a lot to do with the TV show Night Music.
