Music

Katherine, Chris, Blake, and I went to see Elvis Costello featuring Emmylou Harris at Wolftrap last night. It was an amazing performance, and the artists did an amazing job of playing each other’s songs.

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.
