AMERICAN ROOTS LIVE WITH NASTY NED review 69 by nasty ned

ARL Roots Review 69
Not just for musicians anymore!
Actually, it never was meant to be that way, but there have been more musicians than music fans at American Roots Live with Nasty Ned as word spread like wild fire within the musician's community that ARL is the place to be to play and have great fun with other top notch musicians.
And when top notch musicians get together with other top notch musicians to have fun, well... this is something a music fan does not want to miss - then, given the great food and drink at Orphan Annie's and the cool music prizes we give away on stage...
well, there is no other show like it anywhere! Here, The Congregation filled our room with a higher power of sound late Sunday night at ARL 68. You wanna talk about fun -
Divine.Then we picked up right where we left off with American Roots Live 69
as Carlo Trentacosta did his slide thing and we all came together again in the name of music
Thursday night at Orphan Annie's. Groove bassist extraodinare, Todd Lanka had more than just fun on his mind when he showed up Thursday night to air it out on guitar - that is, before he eyed Bertha laying across the floor.
With permission, Todd picked up Bertha and slapped her around for awhile(upright bass )
as I blew harp and Bradfield plunked Stumpy(jr's homade guitar )...Bertha is JR Bradfield's upright acoustic bass and Stumpy is the guitar he built using an antique banjo ring, a dobro resonator and a hunk of tree stump from his back yard.
Then, Sunday night's ARL 69 was down right dilly-icious as Basking Ridge, NJ's Frank, Neil and Amanda showed up to perform their newly formed trio called Dilly. Bright acoustic guitars twinkled as Amanda's soaring vocals kept a good sized crowd satisfied.
I hope Dilly comes back soon as I forgot to have them autograph the ARL All Stars signature guitar - which by the way will be raffled-off after September 21. Raffle tickets are going fast for the September drawing, so please don't say I didn't warn you. If you want that guitar, come and get your $3 raffle ticket before they're all gone. You can buy as many tickets as you like, but only the remainder of this first role of tickets will be sold.Me and JR Bradfield would like to thank everyone who make this celebration of roots music possible: Orphan Annie's, Rick, Karin, Frank & Annie, BluezKid, Win and Ed Pampani for the photos, John Powers, Stevie and, well... you. Thanks.Hope we see you again soon and if you know any music fans - do them a favor - bring 'em.Keeping it real,
