Chattanooga Events
from - smijer
I'm only able to take a moment or two to plug some upcoming events in Chattanooga that just happen to be going on at my church...
The UU's Autumnal Equinox concert will feature the Lovell Sisters Band, a trio of very youthful and talented bluegrass performers. Samples here - I recommend number 6, Lonesome feeling. Tickets are $18/each and proceeds support the church. Call the church office during business hours at 423-624-2985 for reservations. This is going to be a great show. I hope to see some of you there.
The Exonerated is a dramatic presentation of the true stories of six death row inmates who were later exonerated by new evidence. I expect to be helping in the production in some capacity, and if the audition went well last night (blush), I may even have a part in it. The play will run October 21-23 at the church, and if I understand correctly, will have a follow-up for two evenings at the Chattanooga Theatre Center (but don't hold me to that).
For info on some death row inmates who haven't (yet) been exonerated, see Hippy Dave's post, and don't forget the West Memphis Three.
And now, as usual, I'm late for work.

The sisters are sounding mighty good. That should be a lot of fun.
I once heard a set of sisters do Led Zeppelins "In My Time of Dying" with a bluegrass tune and before it was over I was standing up in the pew and on the very verge of prophesying. Luckily it happened at Dollywood so I did not get thrown out of the place.
There is something about a dobro, a mandelin and a fiddle that stirs my cell memory and takes me to forgotten places that I know I have been before.
Ever had that feelin'?

Just anytime I hear a dobro, mandolin and fiddle... and/or guitar, banjo, upright bass... something about that high lonesome sound, eh?

High and Lonesome.
That sums it up perfectly.
