In the Green Room before the show with Daryl Jayne, who does a fine job with the sound at the Fold and has known the O'Blurs from waaaaay back. A real fan, he got our guys to autograph the sound diagram for their microphones |
Joe Newberry and Jim Watson write up the set lists. |

Bill Hicks greets friends and fans beside the stage before the show. Look at that full house! | |
|
Janette Carter
always requests "Daniel Prayed." The Ramblers still tell the story
of the year they put it in the first set, then had to do it again in the
second set by her request. A video of RCR performing "Daniel Prayed"
at the Fold in the early 80s is part of Appalshop's Sunny Side of Life
documentary on the Carter Family. Order yours from Elderly Instruments
or Appalshop.

Jim joins Janette Carter and her brother Joe on either side of Bill Clifton. Clifton, a long time performer of bluegrass and old time music, is from the Hiltons area where he knew A.P. Carter and was very much influenced by him. | |
 |
Just look at
the party! The folks in the seats have poured down to the dance floor.
Our guys gave them tune after tune, and they danced to every song the O'Blurs
played, fast or slow -- then clapped and stomped for an encore.

The tour kicked off at the Six String Cafe in Cary NC, and we're hoping for some pics to turn up from there, too.
