We made a video
Saturday, April 21st, 2007Picking up the Slack
Sunday, April 15th, 2007It was a perfect Wichita moment — a fantastic night for a fantastic cause, and all in support of a fantastic person. Wichita’s acoustic music community gathered at the venerable Artichoke to celebrate their encouragement for the recovery of local harmonica royalty Kelly Slack.
Dennis and I opened the proceedings with a full (really full!) house. We were followed by great sets from The Crowsons, The Bennett Brothers, Medicine Finger and Good Question. MVP shoutouts to Haley Crowson, who turned in a great fiddle performance with her parents, and Phil Burress, who sat in with The Crowsons and subbed as bassist for Medicine Finger as well.
When the last notes had rung out and the last dollars had been counted, there was a little more than $3500 in the hat to help Kelly and his family.
Today I’m very proud to be a Wichitan.
Mark your calendars
