Re: Eric Bibb String Band featuring Dirk Powell & Cedric Watson in Sacramento...anyone going?
Yeah... rode the Harley down to the show, sat outside because they were sold out. I had really hoped to meet Dirk but it wasn't to be. FWIW, in the same complex -- it's an old school -- there was a big Mexican wedding with some killer music and a passel of pre-55 Chevys done up to near mint. Very cool scene. The music sounded great from outside.
Sure wish I had the opportunity to actually see someone play the box, watch the fingering up close. Dave Mason has been so kind to lend me a C accordion. I fool with it but it's not the same as when I was crazy nuts for playing it years ago. I'm not Cajun, feels like I'm walking in another man's shoes. But it's great music and I love the sound of the 10-button.
