Rush/Prine/Walker with One Buffett
Posted: March 26, 2004 3:57 pm
I'm just back from a 5 day trip to our nation's capitol timed to allow me to see one Tom Rush at The Birchmere in Alexandria last Saturday nite. My first time seeing this very talented artist at a legendary venue.
It struck me early in his opening set that Tom looks like John Prine. Turns out they are buddies and Tom covered John's "Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian".
I became aware of The Birchmere cause JJW recorded the legendary "Night by Night" there (at the prior site I learned) in 1994. Photos of Cash, Walker, Kristofferson and Lightfoot appear there but no JB.
It looked like my stay in DC would be SB (sans Buffett) until upon my first walkin tour thru the Grand Hyatt I see a PH with a cool Margaritvaille shirt.
We really are everywhere.
