Got a chance to see Nelson the other night, opening up for Tesla. Wasn't very familiar with their stuff, but Ricky's boys put on a good show.

We saw John Leventhal, Rosanne Cash, Sara Jarosz and Rodney Crowell at Arkansas State University last night.
It was a benifit for the Johnny Cash Boyhood Home in Dyess Arkansas.
The show was outstanding!!!

Both Rodney and I are wearing hats made by Buckaroo Hatters.

Crazy homemade instrument!

They;ve been known to whip out a "Goodbye, Mary Lou" or"Garden Party" at a show, but their set was a little short due to a technical glitch. I was really hoping for a "Garden Party," though.

I’ve seen some interviews where they do a little revisionists history on their dad’s importance to rock & roll, & put a heavy spin on the plane crash & fire that killed him.

I really don't know too much except they were big in the 80s and had really long hair. I didn't recognize any of their songs, but there were certainly a lot of fans in the crowd (they opened for Tesla). I've never been a "fan" of Ricky, but he had some nice songs.

One claim to fame is, I believe they're the only family to have #1 chart toppers in three successive generations. That's kinda cool.

The song that always comes to my mind first is
“Poor Little Fool”.

To bring it all current with the recent passing of Randy Meisner, a very young teenaged Meisner was a member of Ricky Nelson’s Stone Canyon Band at the time of Ricky’s death.

I had no idea!

I think I’m off slightly on the timing but Meisner was a member of the band as a teenager. He was likely gone from the band before Ricky died.

Probably some One-hundreds in that group.

They make better biscuits, cakes and pies, too!

I saw that photo and one Screaming Jay Hawkins sprang to mind. As far as I can tell, Screaming Jay rarely wore hats…but he made up for it with his tusks!

 

[Zombie_61]

I've seen photos of Screamin' Jay Hawkins offstage wearing hats (fedoras usually), but it seems he wore them mostly for effect while performing:

Lennon / McCartney, 1961.

 

[David Manning]

Do we know what kind of hat this is that he wears?
