Thanks for sharing that experience Bob...that was a special concert for sure. I crossed paths with him pre covid at a show at DAR in DC that I was working. It was an Emmylou Harris tribute gig produced by Blackbird Productions in September 2016. There were a lot of good folks on that show, but the only one I could remember without looking at the artist list was Kris. He came up in the balcony and chatted with the camera crew for awhile..the only artist to do that. We did a day of camera rehearsals and then the show. I was on a long lens out in front. Here's the Rolling Stone review with a video clip. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/emmylou-harris-tribute-concert-recorded-for-live-album-dvd-112768/

sounds like he was as genuine in his 70s as he was in his 50s. makes sense...

He was a talented and REAL human being.

One of my favorite tracks on the 7 cd Skydog Retrospective box set is Sam Samudio's (with Duane Allman in the session) version of Me and Bobby McGee, because it's such a great song.

thanks for reminding me of that track. I did have it on that compilation for Dad but didn't learn until much later that Duane was on it. Can't believe I forgot that in my post! Will have to revisit it.
