A great story told by a master storyteller.
Love Waits. He came through here a few years back and played the Saenger (a lovely restored theatre in Mobile). Terrific show. Played most of my favorites, among them
Chocolate Jesus and
Johnsburg Illinois. Told stories, admitted to lying through most of them. His son was along on the tour. Spoke with both afterwards. Couldn't have been a better night.
One day a long while ago I had a touch of the flu. At one point I realized that my singing voice was really right on top of his as a consequence of the bug, so I sat down at the piano and played everything I could think of by him, sang until my voice gave out completely. Best cold ever.
