Week in Review – April 21st, 2024

“More Music”

I had an x-ray of my hand and then a visit with a hand surgeon on Tuesday.  I’m all set to have my Ganglion cyst removed next Monday.  Oh boy – something to look forward to.

A group of us attended the “Hayes and the Heathens” show at Tipitinas on Thursday night.  This was a new collaboration between Hayes Carll and The Band of Heathens – two of our favourites.  The combination worked very well and we all loved the show.  Here’s the opener, “L.A. county blues:”

This was my favourite of the Hayes songs, “Beaumont:”

An excellent guitar jam:

Anders Osborne joined for a song – he and Hayes were scheduled to do a tour when Covid shut things down, and they hadn’t seen each other until this show.

Finishing up with the Levon Helm classic, “Hurricane:”

I had an ultrasound of my cyst on Friday – not sure why I couldn’t have had that with the x-ray – it was at the same clinic.  Oh well.

Diana tried out her new power tool on Saturday morning.  Works well:

Saturday evening was another busy one of music.  We enjoyed the Iguanas at the Kingpin outdoor series:

We drove directly from the Kingpin over to the Broadside for a Yacht Rock cover show.  We both enjoyed it very much:

Here’s the Phil Collins classic, “In the Air Tonight:”

And finally, the Eagles, “One of Those Nights:”

My hand is getting tired and so I’ll skip the book and music sections for now (plenty of music already).

Coexist peacefully, with kindness and patience for all!
