As many of you are aware, I took a little road trip over to Arizona this past weekend to attend the Flagstaff Blues & Brews festival. This was the festival’s seventh year, and the first time it’s been two days. There were a total of ten artists—four on Friday and six on Saturday. Friday’s main draws were Larkin Poe and Tab Benoit.
I got to the festival site, which was the driving range of the Continental Country Club on the east edge of town, shortly after the first artist began playing, and while there was a line to get in, I got to skip it, since I’d had the foresight to get a VIP pass. A quick scan of my ticket, a magic wristband, and I was set.
I spent some time walking around the venue, scoping out what they had to offer, and came away impressed. They had a ton of vendors, including more than a dozen different food trucks. One of the most popular was serving Maine lobster, if you can believe it. Lobster. At a concert. In northern Arizona. Only in America.
Anyway, after checking out the amenities, I headed for the VIP area, where I would end up spending most of the weekend. Unlike the general admission area, there were a couple of large tents with tables and chairs, along with some nice padded folding chairs on the lawn. The tables came in handy when it came time for dinner, which was catered by one of the local casinos. The only thing that wasn’t free was beer, wine and cocktails. I could get used to this VIP thing…
After hanging out for a while, I made my way over toward the stage, where the second artist was winding up their set. Since it was a festival, the next artist in the lineup would stage their equipment off to the left side of the stage as the previous act was finishing, which was kind of interesting to watch. I eventually saw one of the roadies unzip a padded double guitar case and pull out a battle-scarred sea foam green Fender Jazzmaster, followed by a banjo. That could only mean one thing: Larkin Poe was in the house! (or on the lawn, as it were)
As soon as the stage was clear, the crew began setting up for Larkin Poe. Much to my surprise, Megan and Rebecca Lovell were right there in the middle of it, plugging in cables and adjusting speakers. Rebecca acted as the general, directing her troops until everything was just right. When she was satisfied, she nodded and said, “I think we’re good to rock and roll!” With that, she picked up her guitar and launched into a blistering rendition of “Summertime Sunset,” which has become their standard opening number. They then went straight into “Trouble in Mind,” followed by “Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues” before stopping to catch their breath.
For those who aren’t familiar with Larkin Poe, they’re a self-described “roots rock/Americana” band based out of Nashville. Fronted by sisters Megan and Rebecca Lovell, Larkin Poe was formed back in 2010 following the breakup of their previous band, The Lovell Sisters. Megan and Rebecca, along with eldest sister Jessica, took the bluegrass scene by storm in 2006 when they decided to enter a music competition on a lark, and the rest is history. The girls spent their teen years touring (which was possible because they were all home-schooled) and released several successful albums. Eventually, Jessica decided that life on the road wasn’t for her, though, and at 19, she left the band to go to college and eventually get married.
Undeterred by the loss of their leader, Megan and Rebecca almost immediately formed what would become Larkin Poe, although just what that meant took several years to shake out. They began playing bluegrass, and then swerved toward country, before finally trading in their acoustic instruments and making the jump to blues-based rock with the album Kin in 2014. Since then, they’ve never looked back.
Megan and Rebecca are both accomplished multi-instrumentalists who began playing classical violin and piano at around age 4. As The Lovell Sisters, Jessica played fiddle and sang lead, Megan played dobro (an acoustic version of the lap steel guitar she plays now), and Rebecca played mandolin and banjo. Rebecca was actually named the top mandolin player in the country when she was only 15. Thanks to the miracle of YouTube, you can see some of those early performances to this day. Rebecca sometimes cringes at the clothes and hairstyles she wore as a (as she puts it) “chunky” teenager, but the talent was definitely there. Ever heard a Jimi Hendrix solo on mandolin? Now you can say that you have.
Today, Rebecca mainly plays electric guitar, along with banjo on a few songs. At 27, she’s an accomplished singer, songwriter, musician and producer who did all of the arrangements on their two most recent albums. She’s currently engaged to another up and coming blues-rock star, Tyler Bryant. Megan, 29, pretty much exclusively plays an original 1948 Rickenbacker lap steel guitar these days with a custom rig that allows her to play standing up. She’s married to Nashville-based guitarist Mike Seal.
Aside from their obvious musical talent, Megan and Rebecca are about as different as two sisters could be. Megan is quiet, reserved and introspective, while Rebecca is anything but. It definitely shows on stage. While her lap steel is an essential part of what makes them Larkin Poe, Megan is content to be off to the side. Rebecca, on the other hand, is definitely in the driver’s seat. She plays with reckless abandon, constantly in motion, working the crowd and feeding off their energy. It’s something that really doesn’t come across in their recordings, or even in videos of live performances.
And I got to experience it from eight feet away.
Someone famously said, “I have seen the future of rock and roll, and its name is Bruce Springsteen.” I think he was mistaken.

I saw that you had a post ready to go and I knew what it was going to be about. … and I was not wrong.
Cool stuff!
It’s amazing that this kind of talent is almost unknown to most people, but morons like Justing Bieber………..They should be rocking out Yankee Stadium
This is a really good video of them playing live in-studio. The audio quality was so good that they actually released it as an EP.
The interview segments between songs are interesting, too (once you get past the host, who reminds me of AOC auditioning for NPR). There’s a hilarious bit where she asks about pre-show rituals, and Rebecca says, “Well, we typically sacrifice rabbits…,” completely deadpan. Megan quickly jumps in and says “No! We don’t actually do that,” as if someone might have thought she was serious.
@ lobo91:
This is so well written that it makes you really excited that you’re going to hear them play. Which I will do in a moment. The background notes are interesting, and the description makes me feel like the setting is perfect. I love hearing music outdoors. Not so much in the great white North.
I listened to them play with Joe Bonamassa, and his energy and talent brought a deeper exciting sound to Larkin Poe. The lapsteel moved out a lot more. I thought their vocals got stronger and rose to the next level. More instruments filled out the sound without taking anything away from the ladies who kept up naturally.
Would love to hear what Dorian has to say. They have an original sound and real talent. Playing with great singers and musicians is an opportunity to reach even higher. I like the bigger sound and it gives them top exposure. They are winners on the right track who will only get better. Good ears lobo. 🙂

@ The Barbarian:
I’ve been researching how your high speed rail might impact farmland in California. HUGE. On a map, it looks like an acre here, an acre there, but that’s not how farming works. In King’s County alone, maybe 1200 acres out of production.
It’s a wonder your farmers aren’t in Sacramento with pitchforks. Just for grins, I checked out Pelosi’s vineyard holdings. Unfortunately, in the Napa Valley, west of the northernmost Sacramento terminal. She won’t feel a thing.
In California, the version of eminent domain means the state can take the land and decide the price later. “later” is “whenever they get around to it”. I think takings have already started, I’m not sure. In any event, whether the thing gets built or not – and I doubt it will – farmers are going to be kicked off their land. I checked the King’s County Ag report for 2012. BILLIONS in ag revenue.
Talk about killing the golden goose.
@ eaglesoars:
So, California is slashing the first world necessity of private property ownership. Big city dwellers neither know nor care about farmers and farmland. Food comes from the supermarket and coupon clipping is the only consumer involvement in getting affordable food on the table. Some people have veggie gardens, but there are lots of stories about local restrictions on this activity.
@ yenta-fada:
Food is a national security issue, altho it’s not been treated as such since FDR when he told farmers what to plant (the gov’t still does that to an extent, but not under the national security imprimatur).

I cannot get even highly intelligent people interested in the SUN as a major factor in ‘climate’ aka weather. Never mind the activity directly below the surface that relates to earthquakes and volcanic activity. Governments, in their rapine hunt for taxes, have monetized weather by taxing carbon, plastics, and everything else we need to exist. I saw a short report on measuring methane emissions more efficiently. Natural gas (they said) is mostly methane. I fully expect a methane tax down the road as this gets promoted as polluting the environment. None of these taxes do anything about the climate/weather.

From Canada Free Press, SUSTAINABILITY bs:
To bring the cattle industry into line the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association has accepted the imposition of the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, which is heavily influenced, if not controlled, by the World Wildlife Fund, one of the top three most powerful environmental organizations in the world and a leader in the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP), which basically sets the rules for global environmental policy. This is the same World Wildlife Fund that issued a report saying, “Meat consumption is devastating some of the world’s most valuable and vulnerable regions, due to the vast amount of land needed to produce animal feed.” The report went on to say that, to save the Earth, it was vital that we change human consumption habits away from meat. As pointed out earlier, the fact is most land used for grazing isn’t capable of growing crops for food. Further, to have the WWF involved in any part of the beef industry is simply suicidal.
It’s interesting to note that the “Principles for Sustainable Beef Farming,” issued for the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef by the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Working Group (SAI), follow the exact guidelines originally presented in the United Nations’ Agenda 21/ Sustainable Development blueprint. Agenda 21 divided these into three categories including, Social Equity, Economic Prosperity and Ecological Integrity. Using almost identical terms, the SAI plan for Sustainable Beef uses the following headings for each section of its plan: Economic Sustainability, Social Sustainability, and Environmental Sustainability.

SNC Lavalin, in brief, was a peek behind the support the Liberals in Quebec hand taxpayer money to prop up favored corporations. Goes on all the time, but Trudope’s bungling nastiness pulled the curtain back. All of Canada noticed.
Quebec is the tail that wags the mostly leftist/occasionally right political Canadian dog. SNC Lavalin is an engineering company that bribes/builds internationally and at home.

A warning to others.
If you are on unemployment do NOT get a part time job EVER.
I did, a few hours per week. I could earn $100 per week and over that the Texas unemployment subtracted the difference from my unemployment check.
That is ok by me.
BUT! the place I worked at said I quit. No, they never told me when they needed me.
So, now my $506 a week unemployment is no more and Texas Workforce unemployment is demanding $1500 over payment.
Fuck them. and fuck Michael Berry and his fucking Redneck Country Club.

Appeal Information
What Determination or Decision are you appealing?
06/12/2019 Separation from Work – Disqualified Unemployment Benefits Determination
To include additional determinations or decisions in your appeal, include the determination or decision date with a description of it when you fill out the reason for your appeal.
Appeal Information Reason
Describe your reason for appealing. If you are submitting the appeal late or you missed a prior hearing, include an explanation. Also include any dates or times when you cannot participate in a hearing. If correspondence related to your appeal should be sent to any other person, include their name and address.
Reason for Appeal:
I applied and got a part time job at Redneck Country Club as a dishwasher at $9 per hour. The reason for me applying there was because being without employment since mid February and living alone I needed human contact. I started work on 05/09/2019 and did a 5 hour shift. The following day 05/10/20019 I worked from 12:00 until 22:45 with only a 15 minute break. At the end of the shift there were no managers present so I asked Clayton what did they want me to do next. I had not been given a schedule as I was at that stage in training. I requested someone to call me the following day (Saturday) to tell me when I was needed. Clayton declined to take my phone number and told me to come in Saturday at noon to see if I was needed. I could not be there at noon due to prior appointment so I expected a phone call. I did not fail to come to work for a scheduled shift. I failed to show up to find out if I was needed. But I emphasized the night before that please call me… It seems that my failure to drive to work in order to find out if I was needed that day when I had no schedule has been translated to I quit the job. No I did not quit, I just needed to know when to be there to work. They never called. As a result of this attempt to work part time I now find I am without any unemployment benefit at all. To further show I never intended to quit the part time job, on 005/10/2019 I did almost 11 hours dish washing but they did not have a waterproof apron for me. 05/14/2019 I bought one for myself expecting to be called to work when they needed me. Amazon order attached. So in conclusion, my attempt to do something to get me back into the world and interacting with other people both cost me a fine of over $1500 and the cancellation of my unemployment benefits. In hindsight taking a part time job was a big mistake.

The reference to refueling 15 times was specifically about the F-35B, which is the Navy’s carrier-based version. It’s heavier and has less fuel capacity due to the folding wings, etc. On the plus side, it has an airfield that follows it around, so it shouldn’t have to fly long distances normally.
The F-35A can fly quite a bit further on internal fuel.
I’m more concerned about this:

Prior statements said the two presidents considered the reallocation of 2,000 US Troops from Germany to Poland as part of a new cooperative military deal, but Trump has now confirmed landing on the 1,000 number, in what will surely prove deeply provocative concerning ratcheting US-Russia tensions (and it should be added what will also prove yet another conundrum for Russiagaters who see Trump as some kind of pro-Putin stooge).

I strongly encourage you to watch the attached video by Barrister Margaret Ng. She is very good in explaining the risks – and points out that US CITIZENS are at risk from this Bill. (this bill allows Hong Kong to extradite any US citizen residing in Hong Kong, visiting Hong Kong or transiting Hong Kong if China demands it).

Just saw a Jeep with the license plate “5GTMO41”
I thought “nice that someone got the Beau Bergdahl commemorative license plate.”
(Fellow Calis – yeah, I KNOW the “O” is really a zero, but play along with me here).
@ The Barbarian:
I can’t believe your Dept Motor Vehicles let that one thru!
oh no. Sarah Sanders is leaving?
@ eaglesoars:
Yep. Just for giggles I’d love to see him appoint Laura Ingraham.
@ eaglesoars:
Best one I ever saw on that score was “2OLD469”
@ The Barbarian:
Laura isn’t quick enough on her feet. I like Stephen Miller
So, one day after begging not to be hit with $22 mil in punitive damages because ‘it would hurt the students’, Oberlin College got hit with – $22 mil in damages.

In the Strait of Oman (Iran) 2 ships have been attacked,one with a limpit, the other apparently w/a missile. One is Japanese,not sure about the other. Which kind of puts a crimp in the Japanese PM’s trip to Tehran. THAT’S the lead story tonight, not one word about anything else.
disappeared.
@ eaglesoars:
Smells like Deep State blood lust. When you can literally print money like the US and Europe, you can pay people all over the globe to make things go ‘boom’. This will continue, keeping people off balance and angry.
Toronto is in a happy haze about the Raptors and an NBA finals game tonight in California. They almost won in the most recent home game. Toronto is a sports mad town with a bunch of teams who lose regularly. The Raptors franchise is 24 years old and the city is breathless that they might win for a change. It’s a lot of fun to see people so pumped. There’s been no violence with thousands of fans in the streets, so it’s all good to see.

It’s time to take these sub humans out.

So…a bunch of black people started a riot because federal agents killed a black guy who they were trying to arrest…for trying to kill another (presumably) black guy.
Makes perfect sense…
The latest AccuWeather analysis predicts corn yield will be a whopping 11.3% lower than an April USDA estimate. The USDA predicted 14.96 billion bushels, but AccuWeather’s new analysis estimates this year’s total at 13.26 billion bushels. Last year’s corn yield was 14.3 billion bushels.

@ rain of lead:
I don’t know where Accuweather gets its data. USDA has local offices (usually at the county level) that provide monthly, if not weekly updates. Having said that, you can throw everybody’s April’s forecasts out the window. I think another bad weather system is coming in next week.
@ rain of lead:
Here’s the summarized crop report from 3 days ago. 2018 data is provided for comparison. You can see this time last year, Colorado had 99 percent of its crop in, this year 88. BUT, if you look at LAST week’s data, it’s getting better fast.

Things that make me smile.
