Cowboy Junkies The Birchmere, Alexandria, Virginia - April 10, 2022(photo by TW - Click photo to enlarge)
As you know, last year, we had a rather life changing event occur where we can truly say that "The Music Saved Our Lives" -- both seriously and literally.
And -- as we discussed throughout 2020 & 2021 ... everybody knows "Live Music Is Better", of course. (Or, another example, "Live Music Is Better" - Mid-Summer 2021 Edition #2 or -- most recently -- "Live Music Is Better": Son Volt @ The Birchmere — 3/2/22.)

Last night ( 4/10/22), we caught Cowboy Junkies at The Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia and it was fab. Fab not just
because we were simply enjoying live music with our friends but because we got something we always consider treat ... a Neil Young cover.
Cowboy Junkies covered Neil Young's "Don't Let It Bring You Down" off their latest album of covers "Songs of the Recollection". (Album also includes cover of Neil's "Love In Mind", also. More details here.) Lead singer Margo Timmins introduced the previous cover by Gordon Lightfoot as the "King of Canadian Folk Music". The intro for Neil's DLIBYD was in a similar laudatory vein for the Canadian singer songwriter.
So we're just glad, fortunate and blessed to be able to go a few
miles down the road to a splendid music venue that respects both the artists and the audiences
and enjoy live music with our dear friends.
So let the music continue to flow unrestricted and freely to all across the lands in the summer of 2022!!!
After all, isn't it all about the "Ordinary People of RUST"?
