porterdavis back on the rug. Wow. Simply incredible.

Be sure and take a moment to check out the videos from the evening on the main page here at the Piney Woods Performances blog.

Below - Simon Wallace on the harmonica. If Simon blowing on the bass harp doesn't get you grooving in some fashion, I recommend you see your general practitioner to find out what's wrong. (Check this out -- "Janey")Below - The evening wouldn't be complete without backing vocals on "Smack you Back" by Kenny Pipes. Smash the mailbox again... Apart from being one really nice guy, Kenny is the man behind the Almost Austin house concert in Pasadena, Texas. Be sure and check out the great artists he presents there. And his pot-luck dinner generally puts ours to shame!

The next three photos below - Many thanks to Ashlee Newman Photography for capturing the moment from the back of the rug. As you can see, everyone in attendance certainly enjoyed a wonderful evening of music. You can tell that goes for the musicians as well as the audience.




Below - Mike Meadows on the spoons. Mike is an amazing percussionist. He borrowed my djembe and Katren remarked "I didn't know that thing could sound like that!" (So I'm not a great djembe-ist...) Check this out to see for yourself -- "Sunshine"
