I saw a commercial for Dancing with the Stars, someone is going to be dancing to Grace's Ooh la la song!
Thanks again to Sandy for the heads up - I acquired two tickets for Grace, May 18 at the Rams Head yesterday!
Now all I have to do is get myself to Balmer for my Grace baptism.....
Brace yourself George!
For anyone thinking of a trip to Vermot this summer you might want to take this into consideration:

Burlington is a great little town, and Grace and the Nocturnals always have a little something special for the hometown crowd.

I shall, of course, try my best to film as much as possible, though I fear that I may be unable to keep still enough. 
Alas, my companion does not have a 'still' mode, so there's no point in asking her to film so that I can 'let go'. 
Is the organ always set up stage left? Tips on choosing position at the front are welcomed.

Seems to be stage left, but she prances around right center a lot. and there's that bass player off to the right too. Personally, I recommend as close as humanly possible. Right next to the defibrillator!
Hi George - I can't imagine how excited you must be at this point. Stage left is great for seeing Grace, but you get very limited views of the rest of the band. I loved being on the right - Benny is crazy-cool to watch on stage and Cat is mesmerizing and you get a much better view of everyone (except Matt 
) . Front and center is ideal, but get there early early if this is a standing show. Have fun! And make sure Cathy knows where they keep the AED.

OH...................................MY............................God!!!!!!!!!!!
She really is sensational! Most of us in the front row were older guys, while behind us were literally dozens of very young girls. Very unlike a Joe show!
Too late for more now, and as a matter of principle I refuse to post my Grace droolings as 'Cathy', since I am still unable to post under my own name!

Nice sandwich!

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
Does that make me crazy ????
Well, I think you're crazy, I think you're crazy, I think you're crazy
Just like me
Question is George, will you remember your password????
We're waiting to hear from you again as Amsterhammer
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
So long, George
So George - I know you've had a busy few weeks - we're are patiently waiting for your recollections and photos from that night.
In the meantime - Grace's video with Kenny Chesney came out today. Kenny is one of my favorite on-vacation-at-the-beach artists, and this video (and song) is quite cool.

You guys are slipping - I had to go to page 10 to find this!
George - still want to see your pictures from earlier this year, and read your review. Are you still struck dumb?
Saw Grace and her gang again last night. If you could bottle all the energy on that stage there would never be another energy-crisis. Finally got to hear White Rabbit, and I got a pick, too.
Here's my pictures (point and shoot again ):

Enjoy!

In case anyone doesn't already know, although I haven't seen it posted here, Grace is this months guest at 'Live from Daryl's House'.
Haven't watched it myself yet although given this history of this programme it is bound to be tremendous. Great music, but what will they be eating this month?
Grace playin some songs with Darryl Hall at his house:
GPN's bassist Cat Popper is leaving the band. I have no idea what her future plans are but I will miss her presence in the band. Her and Benny were very entertaining to watch, and that band for sure had an amazing chemistry. They are supposed to be working on a new album. Also, just announced today the band will open for the Kenny Chesney tour next summer. Very mixed reviews coming in on that one.

Did you happen to watch the CMA Awards last Wed. Sandy? Grace did a duet with Kenny Chesney to which my girlfriend remarked, wow, Grace has a better voice than the country girls! All I could say was, Ya think???? God I hope that little twerp Chesney isn't puttin' the moves on Grace!!!

Reading between the lines of what Cat wrote on FB, I can't escape the impression that her departure is not (entirely) voluntary. And I don't want Grace to go do country either.

I don't watch award shows anymore and I'm not much of a Kenny Chesney fan, but "You and Tequila" is one fine song. Imo, that's the best song either has done and just prooves how freakin' talented Grace is. I've been playing that song a lot lately.
Yes J Dawg I did and Grace was the main reason I did watch (although I must admit the opening skits with Hank Williams Jr and the Barbie/Ken dolls were quite funny. Just like last year on the VH1 Divas show she blew the other girls away. If Kenny is putting the move on I am not sure it is reciprocated - Grace has been going out with her drummer Matt Burr for a while.
George - Cat has some health issues, she has had to miss parts of the tours over the last year or so and I wouldn't be surprised if that had something to do with it. Maybe she wants to settle down for a bit - who knows. I wish her happiness because she sure helps bring plenty of that to others.
Curby - have you explored any of Grace's older catalogue? PM me your address and I will send you some live shows that I have. My way of sending some positive vibes your way - big hugs to you and your wife. You and Tequila is an awesome song, and I love the video.
