A Musical Taste of Home

John was perusing the local entertainment rag the other night.  He spotted a familiar name performing at the Tractor Tavern.

Now this is a nightspot I have wanted to visit for years but never found the opportunity.  So I was happy to go, but THRILLED when I learned that it was Chatham County Line performing.

Got in touch with my friend the bass player and he was kind enough to get us comped tickets.  (Thanks, Greg!)

We didn't realize how much we missed home until the fellas came on stage and ceremoniously pinned up the Old North State flag.  It was heartwarming to see it.

The show was amazing.  There was a great crowd for starters, and CCL pulled off their smooth choreography.  All four musicians share a single microphone stand, each leaning in or pulling away as needed to adjust their volume.

It was a great evening in so many ways...seeing a familiar friendly face, hearing familiar music, and gathering beneath our flag.   Sweet taste of home, away from home.
