Joe Cocker Concert ~ July 20, 2012

What can I say, it was Joe Cocker.  The only thing that could have made it better is if Bob Dylan, and Van Morrison were on stage too, and I got to pick the songs.

Some of the songs from last night:

Hitchcock Railway
The Letter
You Can Leave Your Hat On

You Are So Beautiful
Unchain My Heart
She Came in Through the Bathroom Window
With a Little Help From My Friends
Cry Me a River

I wasn't crazy about his female singers, but his musicians were fantastic. 

At 68 he isn't as twitchy as he used to be, but he does jump high and come down at the end of each song, must be hell on his knees.  He also was drinking a lot from a water bottle during each song, which made me wonder how he kept from running to the bathroom at his age.

I so enjoyed seeing one of my favorites.

Frisco's Music in the Square

For the last couple of Friday nights I have been attending Frisco's Music in the Square.  The concerts have been very pleasant and I have enjoyed myself tremendously. 

One week I went to see Dave Walser and the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Bluegrass Band.  Dave used to be part of Beatlegras.  He put a new video of his new band on his Facebook page.  They sounded great!

Last week I went to see Mark Wayne Glasmire.  He had some good songs.  Likes to talk a lot between songs, but he had enough good songs to make up for having to listen to him talk and overuse "ironically" and "literally."  His current song on the country charts is:

 I won't be able to attend the last two concerts, but I look forward to next year's series.
