Show Notes:
This was the tail end of a very long day. The blues tent had chairs, it was nice to sit, and guitar hero Gary Clark Jr. got to headline the 'small stage' at Beale (they have some little Jack Daniels shack along the fence by the river usually with 1-2 performers and 50 people watching, but that doesn't really count). The following year, he got to headline one of the mainstages (showing how far he had gone in just a year). Sadly, recordings from the blues tent, IMO, have a weird, washy sound to them. Not sure if it's the sound reflecting in the tent or what...it's solid, just far from stellar.

No need to thank me, but be sure to thank the facilitator of fatalities, that being Dennis. He builds each and every one of these for your listening pleasure. and he's closing in on one *thousand* uploads.

We've got some good stuff in the works for the milestones...stay tuned.
