Thanks for the review links Louise. I headed to the deep south the morning after the show, and got back home Friday afternoon, so missed the local papers. The set list was interesting - Bob played more classics than I realised!

Hey Louise, an idea for a future Folkslinger tour. The concert could be in two parts: "Guthrie Plays Dylan", and "Arlo Plays Guthrie". Or even two nights in each town. Wouldnt that be magic! Maybe we can kick the idea around with the Blunderites before telling adg. What do you think?

Bye for now,

Dave

PS:
I looked for you in the Entertainment Centre restaurant before the Silverchair/Powderfinger concert on Friday night. Maybe you went on Saturday !

Silverchair, I forget what they had out but they had out this one album that had a dude on the front of it who looked just like my late Father-In-Law. (Mikes dad). We always wondered who the guy was...

Hello there Cherryl,

The only silverchair album I know of with a person on the front is "Freak Show". This is from a silverchair trivia page:

40. The cover of "Freak Show" featured a boy's face. This boy once used to be a star in the actual freak shows which travelled around America long ago. What was his stage name? ("The Lobster Boy")

41. What was his real name? (Grady Stiles)

This site has the album covers: http://www.chairpage.com/releases

Bye for now,

PS: they are a great band, but not folk, definitely loud.

Thanks for the info. Yup, this was the pic I was talking about:

The "Freak Show" album. I couldn't think of the name of it. I'd heard of the Lobster Boy but didn't know this was him. The dude is sure dressed the way my father-in-law dressed back in the 40's. In fact Mike has a pic of his dad from the 40's that looks like this pic except it is bw & no curtains in the pic lol. Mikes dad was from a hillbilly area of KY & so is Mike so I doubt if Silverchair knew him. But I had always wondered who the guy is. They say there is a double for everyone & this guy sure favors him. So I had been wondering who the guy was. I remember when that album came out there was a big pic of that cover in Rolling Stone & Mike bought it to show folks the dude looked like his late father. He showed it to some relatives, maybe his sister or some cousins & they were like yeah that looks like him lol. I looked the Lobster Boy up online & found some stuff like this:

But my later father-in-law didn't look like him from the chest down tho. Thanks for clearing this up for me. It was very interesting...

I wasn't there Dave, but my daughter was going. I like some of Powderfinger's stuff.

Hi Cherryl,

Happy to be able to help with the photo. And glad your father in law only looked like the pic from the shoulders up.

Hi Louise

Bye for now .... Dave

Thanks! At least I'm not related to the lobster man lol...

Our Aussie Cate playing Bob......how cool!

I love you all, just because you love Arlo. Oh, but we are miles apart.
Still i like the rep's bs of smaller gov. In fact that bs, is better than anything coming out of the left.
I still will die over the Unions being that smaller gov. Unions can take care of work, pensions and health-care, maybe even education too.
I guess the days before a New Age, aren't like I thought either.

I saw that Louise - Ms Blanchett playing Dylan, who woulda thunk?
Can't wait to see the film.
