Nikki,
What a fantastic experience! I'm so happy for you. Those Wilson sisters
*are* something else, damn. I've been reading about the tour on other lists
and everyone has been raving. I can't believe you have left Stevie behind
;-) but it sounds like you did see an amazing show.
Your story reminded me of my best friend thirty years ago practically
hitchiking from college in Ft. Collins to Denver by herself to see her other
hero (besides Joni) Gordon Lightfoot. After the show she called some friends
to pick her up but they were an hour away. Meanwhile, his roadies started
chatting with her and invited her to the after-party with Gordon. She ended
up singing and playing guitar with him over a few cans of Coors (3-2 beer
was legal for 18 year olds then) and later sent me the pictures (Gordon
looking trim in Maple Leaf T-shirt) with the two of them arm and arm (and
holding Coors cans). It's still one of my most treasured photos.
Kakki
