Me and Will McFarlane at the Bonnie Raitt Show.

I took this picture as a reminder that I was at the Bonnie Raitt show at the DPAC. http://www.dpacnc.com

Bonnie doesn’t like pictures at her concerts so I usually don’t take any or maybe one or two just for me..

Will talked to me for quite a while before the show and it was some really interesting stuff. He is quite a guitar player and played
for Bonnie for quite a while (1974 – 1980). Will’s wife Janet was with him and they are very nice people. They ended up making it backstage to visit with Bonnie and she even called him out from the stage during the show. I thought that was pretty cool. Bonnie is as good as she has ever been. She ROCKS!

The last time I saw Will was in Chapel Hill at a fund-raiser for Little Feat drummer Ritchie Hayward.

Bonnie was really on and her band is always topnotch. My favorite song played on that night was her recent cover of Gerry Rafferty’s “Right Down the Line.”

I just want to say this is my way of tellin’ you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin’ you
Everything I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin’ you
That every day I’m lovin’ you so much more

If I should doubt myself, if I’m losing ground
I won’t turn to someone else
They’d only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it’s been you woman
Right down the line
