Katherine, Chris, Blake, and I went to see Elvis Costello featuring Emmylou Harris at
Some of the surprises;
- Emmylou Harris had a sandwhich named after her at the Childe Harold, although it no longer appears to be on the menu.
- Elvis Costello sounds great singing country songs and apparently released a country album in 1981.
- Elvis Costello breaking into that famous Santana guitar solo
- Adding the lyrics “Admit that you lied” in the chorus of the Scarlet Tide
- The songs from the Delivery Man are much better when performed live. I will have to give the album another listen.
Now to see if I still think it was worth it after suffering through a monday on 5 hours of sleep.

TOO COOL! Elvis Costello is great and especially adore Emmylou Harris. I missed meeting her by mere seconds when I worked at the NEA. She came in one afternoon to have lunch with Bill Ivey (then the Chairman). But I was away from my desk and by the time I got the call to go to the Chairman’s office, they were gone. *sniff*sniff*

Yet another thing you could be enjoying if you lived up here! Chris even had to find a last minute person to use his second ticket. Of course I don’t think the wiggles come here quite as often, but then maybe that is a good thing.

A day late the Washington Post has a review out.
