http://steveearle.com When I picked up these tickets for this show I had to think ‘Had I seen Steve Earle?” I was in a Key West daze sitting in my rocking chair at the Coconut Beach Resort mid-week overlooking the water on south end of Key West as I thought about it. Yeah I probably had something cold in my hand as I was on holiday from reality. Key West and music are two places I go to escape my reality. They both work on different levels. Back to Steve Earle. I was on my iPad trying to remember my password to get into the place I needed to be to score great seats. I never did remember that password but I did phone up a person who helped me score second row seats right beside my brother Brian. Fast forward several weeks and we are sipping something cold and local made in a very early fall afternoon sunlight. The next thing I know Steve Earle is on the stage and it all comes back to me. Yeah I have seen Steve several times and if I weren’t in a huge hurry to leave tonight given the 5:15 alarm in the morning I would go by and see him. Missed that one. But I do recall the last time I saw Steve Earle. It was in Asheville at the Warren Haynes Xmas Jam. http://downsouthradiohour.blogspot.com/search?q=steve+earle I still say my favorite album of his is “The Revolution Starts Now.” I remember playing some cuts from that one on Radiomargaritaville a few years back. Great stuff. Go see this guy. He is still rocking.
Until next time, I’ll see you, down the road.
