Yet, I bet if one engaged her inconversation about the joys of America as against other countries she'd be the first to play the "freedom of speech" card. <BR/>Sigh.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-47938857737483014812007-11-04T00:15:00.000-05:002007-11-04T00:15:00.000-05:00Certainly am pleased you enjoyed the concert and f...Certainly am pleased you enjoyed the concert and found both acts to be talented and entertaining. I felt the same when I was first introduced to Marcoux Corner.<BR/><BR/>Greg, of course, had been here before as opener for Jimmy LaFave last year, and he's sorta kinda "adopted" Duncan and our concert series. I like his words, and his voice was especially strong on this visit, I thought. He also seems to have "adopted" me as one of his bestest buddies!<BR/><BR/>We did get 2 complaints later about the "political" statement Greg "forced" on the crowd with his quip about FEMA and the fires in California. One woman asked us if we don't "screen" the statements of our artists "before" they appear? Mygawd! 'Twas all I could do to keep from laughing in her face, although I did ask her if she'd been offended last year when the announcer for the Tibetan monks gave a 3 or 4 minute oration about how the Chinese were oppressing Tibet, or by the petition to the UN the monks asked members of the audience to sign. She remembered being at that concert, but wasn't aware those topics had been brought up.<BR/><BR/>Apparently, Greg might have gotten his comment past her if he was a foreigner dressed in a brightly colored robe and played a mountain horn instead of a guitar.<BR/><BR/>Most frequent reaction I heard from audience members to Marcoux Corner was: Gosh, those guys are good!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
