Peter Rowan and Friends

• Paul Knight: contrabass, vox;
• Mark McCartney: djembe, percussion;
• David Phillips: pedal steel guitar;
• Peter Rowan: acoustic guitar, vox.

Yowza, a scorching day today! Thunderstorms this morning – quite unusual for this area – just enough to wet the ground, though hardly enough to register any precip on the official scales, and it's got to be well over 90 F out here on the driveway. Best to stick to the shade today!

It's not clear why (maybe I missed an announcement?) but instead of the Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band, we're getting Peter and Paul with two “ringers” – David Phillips from the Free Mexican Air Force, and Mark McCarthy from Achilles Wheel. No matter – they sound darn good during the soundcheck!

Peter is in fine form today – casually dressed in an aloha shirt, purple leggings and bright red socks – and he regaled us with fine stories in between many of the tunes.
