Mountain Stage

Town Hall balcony seat became a center loge seat for Mountain Stage in NYC at town hall. first up with Billy Bragg who was at Hammerstein and special guest, two songs and then the duet with Rosanne Cash on her dad's "I still miss someone". it actually made me choke up. Their voices are perfect and you could see that you were watching a special moment. There was a powerful emotion between these two singers. Leventhal played piano

Rodney Crowell with Will Kimbrough and Jennie Shienman on violin was followed by Ferron who was subbed for Todd Snider who was hospitalized yesterday. Ferron was at Joes Pub and filled in. She had bitch on fiddle with her.

Then hour two Bruce Cockburn and finally Rosanne Cash who sang "good intent" and " The World Unseen". She then sang "sea of heartbreak from the next project, 100 songs her dad left her as the essential 100 songs she needed to know to sing. Then a townes van sant song Two Girls and she ended with a duet with Rodney Crowell on a song he wrote from her first album

it was a good show
