    Allison Krause and Union Station
    I was able to see Allison Krause and Union Station at the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery a couple years ago, and it was a wonderful concert. I don't usually think of her when I think of my favorites, but I do love her music.

    My wife and I are going to see Heart, Joan Jett, and Cheap Trick together at the White River Amphitheatre tomorrow, and that should be fun. Ann and Nancy Wilson would definitely be in my top 10 favorites list.

    I mostly listen to what used to be called progressive country, Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, David Allen Cole, Pure Prairie League, Emmylou Harris, Etc.... I guess my favorite artist is Jackson Browne though (Got to seen him in concert last year, I just wish he had done more of his old stuff). I also like Tom Petty, Jimmie Buffet, and of course Bob Dylan. Lately, I have really gotten into The Zac Brown Band, (Chicken Fried, Toes), Those guys are really talented! Also Chris Stapleton is another really talented guy.

    I think Allison Krause has one of the greatest voices in music today. I'd love to see her.
    Quite a while back my son was not happy with her because her colaboration with (I think) R. Plant was holding up a Led Zeppelin reunion.

    I used to consider Arcade Fire to be right up there near Dylan, but their latest album took them way off in another direction. While in Hati they joined in a voodoo séance and apparently incorporated bits of that kind of thing in their current music.

    Here's there 2007 ACL show. Don't give up on it after the frontman's wife's quirky song a few songs into the show.

    Ok, that ain't the way it was originally aired. Different lineup and songs not on the original show.

My wife & I went to Cleveland to see him in concert a number of years ago. What a performer, truly one of the absolute best!
    Have you seen this performance?

    I got to see John Denver in-the-round here in Fort Wayne in 1976ish. He was so very good. One of a kjnd, never to be replaced.

    Nov. 25, 1976.

    It's a take from The Band's "The Last Waltz "

    Music is always playing in the background.

    Being a Dylan fan I've read some things
    about his backup musicians. According to what I've found Robbie Robertson made the decision to break up and he and Diamond were the only 2 people on the planet that knew Neil was going to perform. It's been said "Dry Your Eyes" was co-written by Robbie and Neil. Robertson gets a lot of grief for basically appointing himself leader of The Band.
    Also, he was one of Dylan's favorite guitarists. Robertson left Dylan because, he said, he wanted to go another direction with the guitar.

    He is good, I have to admit. Much of BOB was his work.

    And then there's Charlie McCoy. Look up his volume of work with Dylan and others. He played just about every instrument made on HW61 on til around 1970.
    Where would Desolation Row be without his melodic guitar work. He compiled that in a very short period of time.
    It wasn't til about the 500th time I listened to that song that I noticed his work during Bob's 2 harmonica solos. Incredible sound. He even gives you a small taste of it during the lyrics " Then they take them to the factories".

    Stew, I am with you on Led Zeppelin. Stairway to Heaven is the greatest song of all time in my opinion. As for music in the background, I have the radio on a classic rock station 10hours a day. Oh, they do broadcast Australian Rules Football on the weekend as well. Go the Sydney Swans! Cheers
