6/8/23. Casper Rawls, some highlights, Live @ The Continental ATX

<p>'<strong>Dream band. It's good to be home. </strong><strong><em>Thank you, </em></strong><a href="https://casperrawls.com"><strong><em>Casper</em></strong></a><strong><em>.</em></strong><strong><br></strong><br>After 4 weeks completely off from playing music (three of them with <a href="https://www.africaexchange.org">AfricaExchange</a>.org -- one of the greatest learning experiences of my life), I got to play with three of my most personally-treasured musicians and reconnect with dear friends. This band: <strong>Glenn</strong> I've been <em>blessed</em> to play with since about 1992. <strong>Bukka</strong> and I have shared homes and hotel rooms off and on for three decades. And, I owe <em>one</em> person the thank you for my return to playing music and enjoying it again: Mr.<strong> Casper Rawls. </strong>He made it fun, he's a humble, artful, barn-burning master, and he's one of the best humans on Earth. </p><p>This band: </p><p><strong>Casper Rawls<br>Bukka Allen<br>Glenn Fukunaga<br>Chris Searles</strong></p><p>Live at the Continental, June 8, 2023<br>"some highlights"<br>recorded on Chris' phone</p><p><strong>Le Program: </strong><br>0:00 <em>Going Down</em> (Freddie King) <br>5:45 <em>Don't They Know Who We Think We Are?</em> (Casper Rawls/Suzie Elkins)<br>9:30 <em>Ode to Billy Joe</em> (solos)<br>14:10 <em>You Ain't Goin' Nowhere</em> (Dylan) <br>19:45 <em>Hot Dog</em> (Owens/Dedmond) <br>24:30 <em>The House is Rockin </em>(solos) <br>27:10 <em>Stroll On, homie, Stroll On</em></p><p>#########</p><p><strong>Photo</strong> by <a href="https://samuelgreyhorse.com">Sam Greyhorse</a> - thank you, Sam.<br>More Sam photos <a href="https://www.facebook.com/samuelgreyhorse/photos">here</a>.</p>
