Allen Shadd in Thomasville GA

[Pistolero]

Hey folks, if anybody is within reasonable distance to Thomasville Ga and in need of something to kill time on a Friday night, I will be performing at CoCroft's music at 8:15 PM. I have a couple of guests lined up to sit in as well, and I'm also bringing along Miss Lauren Coggins (lcogginz) to perform a few tunes with me. If you need more info or directions, visit the store's website at www.cocroftsmusic.com and we sure hope to see you there.

Hopefully next time.
Knock em out !

Dang - used to be down the road in Tallahassee. It's a fair road trip from Raleigh. I'll call some friends and let them know.

Allen... you need to come just a bit further north. If you perform anywhere in the Atlanta area, I'll be there. ;)

Allen tends to send his "disciples" up north (like Adam Wright to the Mayville fest, a really nice "kid" who blew everyone's socks off-including one Clay Hess-a judge!). What's more, Adam was really a sincere young man, who counts Allen as a close friend.

If Adam doesn't consider himself quite up to Allen (which is what he told me!), I don't know if I EVER want to hear Allen!! :eek: (just kidding--I'd sit at his feet and mumble "I'm not worthy" as a mantra" :lol: )

Let's all hope ol' "Pistolero" comes home with another prize dread--and, Allen--if you ever want to thin the herd, I live REEEALLLY near Mayville, and..... :wink:

Allen's a gifted guitarist, and Lauren has the voice of an angel. I know that everyone who attended had a great time! Any pictures?

You know, it's Monday already and I'm still waiting for a review of the gig.
Did the dynamic dou get sidetracked along the way?

[Pistolero]

Hey guys, sorry about the time lapse for a reply. It was a fairly long trip in a short period of time, and once we got home we just kind of tried to get over it. It was a good trip though, we had a good turnout, and the crowd included some folks that I hadn't seen since I was a kid playing the festivals back then. In fact, one of them brought an 8x10 from when I was maybe 12 years old or so, to show off. That was a pleasant surprise. Lauren saw it, and said that I was a cute kid, and then promptly asked, 'what happened?' :D

I started out solo for a little while, then brought Lauren up to perform a few tunes with me. On her last tune, I brought up Mike Snelling to play upright bass with us. Lauren done wonderfully, and recieved numerous compliments. She was also gracious enough to watch over my cd table while I was talking to the crowd after the show, and she was asked if she had a cd of her own. That's something we definitely have to work on. ;)

After Lauren finished performing, Mike stayed on the stage and I brought up Mickey Abrahams to play some mandolin. We had a good time, and when it was over, I played for just under two hours, so I hope folks got their money's worth. It seemed like they had a good time. Nobody threw any fruit, so it couldn't have been too bad I guess. To be honest, we got two standing ovations, which was actually pretty cool.

We got a few pictures, and some friends took some as well, so I hope to get a pic or two up for you guys.

Sure wish I could have made that one Allen.
Seems like I am missing them all lately.

I can always hope for the next one I suppose.

[Bern]

Well, what about the pictures ? :)

[Pistolero]

Well, Lauren took the pictures on my camera so she's obviously not in any of them. And the ones that my friends took didn't come out, so all I have are a couple of myself with the guys, and I know you guys don't want to see my ugly mug when you've been waiting to see Lauren's pretty face.lol. :D

I was in the same boat. Just moved from Tally less than two months ago, but I couldnt quite make the drive from TX.
