Ok.. It’s been weird lately.. I’m playin a show this weekend at Santa Barbara Bowl, (well 2, actually) and at Universal Amphitheater.. yeah, those are kinda big joints..
There’s the site.. Keith Richards is playin’, Dwight Yoakam, Lucinda Williams, tons of folks.. It’s a benefit for Musicians Assistance Program
I’m honored to be able to be of service and to honor a great musician who never had the benefit of any “assistance”. I would honestly rather have him playin’ bluegrass down there in San Diego with Chris Hillman than looking larger than life in an old picture. In short, I wish he’d lived.. even if he would’ve gotten old and uncool.. I’ll bet I’d still listen to those old records. He was a man, a musician, a father and sadly, an addict.. I’ll honor him by doing my best to not let this life get to me… how about you all try to do the same.
