We got free tickets to a tribute concert to Kris Kristofferson tonight. Willie Nelson, Emmy Lou Harris, Allison Kraus, Martina McBride, and a bunch of other stars.
We left at the intermission and walked a couple of blocks to Roberts Western World on Broadway.
The Don Kelley Band has played there for many years. A friend of mine named Joe Fick plays bass. There is always some interchangeability in the members of the band but the quality of the music is always top drawer. I love listening to them.
These guys play for tips every night and I have yet to see them not play their hearts out on every song. Maybe their hearts aren't always in it but you would never know by watching them.
I'm pretty sure that the stars I saw in the first half of the night at the Bridgestone Arena are passionate about their music.
But I KNOW that the 4 guys I watched at Robert's are crazyass passionate.
It's why there's something about the Broadway scene in Nashville that always pulls me in.
It's a little crass, a little commercial, pretty touristy, but the musicians are crazyass passionate.
I can't resist it. It pulls me in. I will take it over the polish of the big names any day.
