Neil Young and Crazy Horse, rained out tonight.

We trekked 25 miles to the Circuit of the Americas race track/amphitheater for Neil, but the sky opened up right after we arrived around 6:45. The rain stopped after an hour or so, but the lightning never ended. All the bars and concession stands were now closed, so there was nothing to do but wait. At 8:45 or so, they asked everyone to leave. I can't really complain; I don't want Austin to be responsible for electrocuting Neil, his band, or his crew.

Staying tuned for an announcement regarding rescheduling/refunds. I hope I can attend a rescheduled date, but you never know.

 

The first album I ever bought was a Duane Eddy album.

The first tune I ever picked out on a guitar was Rebel Rouser.

It was his twangy sound, oddly, that led me towards playing bass.

R.I.P Duane.

Duane Eddy, 86.

**** cancer.
