Music, always Music!

I was treated to a great concert tonight. I went to see the Derek Trucks Band at our own local Auditorium, the Hubby's venue. They were out of this world. The singer has a smooth and sensual voice that was great, and Derek's guitar playing was spellbinding. I brought my friend who is getting a divorce and she really enjoyed having this time to get away from the stress the home front brings to her these days. The opening band was the Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band. They were great also, but in a completely different way. The had an Indiana backyard kinda band with a drummer, a washboard player and a guitar playing singer. They are made of the reverend (guitar and voice) his wife (washboard) and brother of the reverend (drummer). The wife and the reverend were both quite large and were a joy to see as they truly lost themselves in the music. She was wearing a sleeveless black dress, some fishnet stocking and bright redish-purplish hair. When the reverend was talking about how long ago they lived in the country in Indiana, she said "what are you talking about, your're 24! Can't have been that long ago!" They were a great way to start the concert. My friend, who also works with me said we should get their CD in play it at work, just to irk the christians, after all the music is played by a "reverend!" It was a great time. Check out the bands online see if you like them too.
