6/6/09 This was a singer songwriter night featuring Tom King, Dennis Kaylor, and Will Gay. Tom played for the first hour and did many of his wonderful standards and some new ones.  He is a big guy who wears a cowboy hat, with a deep bass voice and real laid back.  He is a great songwriter and poet and most of his songs come from his own life's exeriences and tell neat stories or have great morals. He performed Frank and Jessie Robbed the Trains, Redneck Mother in Law, Don's Lunch, In My Next Life, Colorado Kid and Cherokee Kid all which he has performed here before. then some new ones I hadn't heard The World of Sex, Big Steel Wheels, She and Her Momma's Getting Out of Here, I'm afraid I'm just Getting Old and many more. I really like Tom's stuff, he performs it well.  He has a lot of humor and a serious side as well and is just a really good story teller.  He also performed some Cowboy Poetry: one about a Mexican tatoo, another about a Chili Cafe that wouldn't serve hippies and soon had a change of heart, probably my favorite was The Field of Old Dreams about a car junkyard and the history behind the relics. Dennis played three of his real popular songs, he had folks singing along with him: My Wife's Cat, Bring the Old Dairy Back and Copperhead Hill.  Then Will Gay performed several.  Unfortunately, I was engaged with a customer and missed his set, but enjoyed what I heard in the back ground.  Then Tom Closed with some more of his great stuff.  We had a fair crowd, and everyone had a good time.  This was really good coffee house music I thought.
 
6/5/09 Wow, the Walker Street Opry just finished their show. What a night! My daughter said that they are probably the best band we have had here during her tenure. We have had a lot of great ones and they are up there with them all. They started with an old favorite of mine Ashes of Love, then the classic Dark Hollow, another favorite of mine I Washed My Hands in Muddy Water, then How Mountain Girls Can Love, Coleen Malone, Uncle Pen (without a fiddle which I wondered how they would pull it off, but they did with Tony Robertson's hot mandolin and Phil Easterbrooks hot banjo), then another old favorite of mine Poor Wayfaring stranger with Phil on dobro. Plenty of old standards: Down Yonder, the Dillard's (aka the Darlings) Same Old Man Working at the Mill, Wild Bill Jones, Midnight Flyer, I Know You Rider and more. A great night of old bluegrass standards played by an excellent band that enjoys what they do and has fun at it. A crowd pleaser. However the crowd was a little light which was disappointing to me, but they were very enthusiastic. They said they would come back I hope so. A great night of great old bluegrass standards performed by a top notch band. Can't beat that!!!
