Saturday and I’m not in the studio today. Thought I’d have a little music that feels right for driving. It’s the seminal rock song, Hey Joe, recorded by many artists over the decades, most notably by Jimi Hendrix.
This is not the Hendrix version.
It’s a version featuring one of my favorites, Tim O’Brien, performing a bluegrass tinged version of the song with the great Jerry Douglas, the master of the dobro. I saw O’Brien perform several years ago at a local historic church, one that the previously mentioned Mark Twain used to attend. It was a great acoustic show in a great space, something out of the norm for this area. I was a fan before the show and his musicianship that evening only made me like his work more.
Anyway, enjoy the song and your Saturday…
Redtree Times 
Mark Twain in church? Next you’ll be announcing that hell has frozen over.
I suppose (or choose to believe) that he went as a concession to his wife. In this picture he certainly looks (to me) like he’d rather be somewhere (anywhere?) else.
I’ll admit it sounds a bit contrary to his nature but Twain did attend Park Church on numerous occasions. He had a well known friendship (they were drinking buddies) with the minister there, Rev. Thomas Beecher, of the famous beecher family of Harriet Beecher Stowe and Henry Ward Beecher. Henry was a rock star of sorts in his time, a religous figure whose face appeared on trading cards.
Great picture of Twain, by the way.
