Emmylou Harris Leading
a who’s who of Bluegrass musicians singing the Band’s “Take a Load off Fanny…”
My Husband was at this concert on Sunday, February 19th and that’s all he has talked about so much, so now our friends have been asking where they could see it. Well here it is World!
A little Background: Every October there is a free concert in Golden Gate Park Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. The founder Warren Hellman died this Winter. This video is from the rockin’ finale in the memorial concert for Mr. Hellman.
Enjoy

I had my 94 year old mom for an outing and we saw all the people with chairs and blankets, but I had no idea where they were going. My mom was so extremely interested that she wanted me to roll down the window and yell out and ask!!! I feel bad to have missed this, but worse that I did not even know it was happening!!! I was right there on Sunday, the 19th!!! I take my mom for drives through the park and ocean every week.

You weren’t the only one to miss it that is why I posted the video so you can see some of it. I stayed home and watched the live on-line version. You can see most of it here, It was an exhausting day, so I’m told. I will keep you and the rest of the world informed when the next one is.
PS Congratulation to your mom for being 94!

Don’t you love Mondegreens (miss hearings). Jim looked up the lyrics for song called The “Weight” and came up with both Annie and Fannie. It is a great mystery of our times.
