  • Ricky Skaggs, Punch Brothers, Nancy Griffith and Abigail Washburn at BB King

    We’ve seen Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder a couple of times, most recently in June 2008. When we saw that they were performing at BB King, we knew we’d be there. The only other act listed on the bill was Abigail Washburn, opening for Ricky. We’ve seen Abigail a number of times, so […]

That all changed when we […]

If you’ve read my previous posts, you know that David Bromberg is one of my all-time favorite live performers. In September 2006, I saw him again at BB King […]
