The missus and I are going to Steve Martin's bluegrass hoedown tonight at the Meyerson -- good cause, sure, but also a good time from the sound of recent reviews. And, say what, Onion A.V. Club: "The band nonchalantly launched into a bluegrass take on the novelty tune 'King Tut.'" Sure 'nuff; here's a version from Toronto earlier this month. The folks at the AT&TPAC say there are still tickets available in the way-back up-top. Bonus: Gary Cogill's emceeing.
The Meyerson is part of the Performing Arts Center, actually. Turns out, you can't buy a ticket to the Meyerson without making at least a $1 donation to the PAC. You've been warned.
So Bob, enlighten us - if the concert is at the Meyerson, why is the AT&TPAC doing the PR work? Just curious.
He's from Waco, actually. And his second cousin will be there tonight. Right, Merritt?
Isn't Steve Martin a Texan too?
I've heard you will actually FEEL funny if you take a couple of slices of bologna and put them in your shoes . . .
Enjoy.
