Friday Guitar Blogging: Guy-in-Residence
It seems like it was Riverbend 2004 when Guy Clark and his buddy Verlon Thompson wowed a docile audience under the Walnut Street Bridge, even though they had to fight off a wild thunderstorm and a shrieking F-104 -- and I think the emergency helicopter from Erlanger made a run through their set as well. Those distractions were no match for Guy Clark's music, his sense of humor, nor his formidable jaw, which alone could withstand a minor nuclear attack.
It pleased me to find that Clark has been selected as this month's artist-in-residence at the Country Music Hall of Fame in (where else?) Nashville.
The Shani Hedden Group has several Guy Clark songs in its repertoire, including "L.A. Freeway," "Heartbroke," and one of my favorites, "The South Coast of Texas."
On my own, I also want to learn "Stuff that Works."
