They had to set up more chairs a couple of times. I'd only seen her once before, but this venue was much better suited, and the crowd was much appreciative.<BR/><BR/>After leaving her show and heading straight to Broad Street Cafe, I was able to catch a little of Bill Noonan's band followed by a couple of songs by Tom Meltzer. Jeff Hart came out with his band and we got to get a look at his new guitarist: Rocky Colavito. He seemed to fit right in. Jeff played most of my favorites from his repertoire, plus a little Robert Johnson and Stones. And in the middle of one of his signature songs, they melded in some <I>Strawberry Fields.</I> I never knew that you could get mellotron and cello sounds out of an electric guitar, but it happened.<BR/><BR/>The perfect ending to a perfect night!Tribe Blyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15768988540759616929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729182062363141454.post-17385152725517720692008-04-18T08:56:00.000-04:002008-04-18T08:56:00.000-04:00Love Kate Campbell!

I know that's kind of a relative statement in the grand context, but I bet there's a reason his tenure atop the SBC was so short. Between 1979 and 2006 Henry was the only president elected w/o the endorsement of the SBC's conservative kingpins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729182062363141454.post-10901316896816018712008-04-17T10:23:00.000-04:002008-04-17T10:23:00.000-04:00thanks for the plug, DBP ;)very much appreciated.s...thanks for the plug, DBP ;)<BR/>very much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>see you friday after the kate show. you may get there to see a good bit of bill noonan band before we go on.Jeff Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842421166684415121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729182062363141454.post-3630327206159337852008-04-16T10:59:00.000-04:002008-04-16T10:59:00.000-04:00Alternatively, this Friday night (and Thursday and...Alternatively, this Friday night (and Thursday and Saturday nights and Sunday afternoon) the <A HREF="http://www.durhamsavoyards.org/" REL="nofollow">Durham Savoyards</A> will be performing Gilbert & Sullivan's Yeoman of the Guard at the Carolina Theater.

Still, worth noting that calling her the daughter of a Baptist preacher is a bit like calling Jenna the daughter of a Texas oilman.<BR/><BR/>Jim Henry was until recently the head of the First Baptist megachurch in Orlando and in the late 1990s was the head of the conservative Southern Baptist Convention.<BR/><BR/>Something I didn't know about Campbell when I was first listening to her.
