Happy 4th people! This is a weird one for sure, but we still can declare independence. COVID numbers are rising around the country, so remember to social distance and wear a mask if you are heading out. Me, I’ll make do in the back yard. Thinking back on the last few times I was out, before we scattered to the wind, there was a very cool night at City Winery Nashville, where there were worthy shows upstairs and downstairs. Delbert McClinton was in the big room, having just won another GRAMMY©, and upstairs in the lounge was Nashville’s own Sarah Potenza.

Sarah, being the force of nature that she is, was her ever bawdy, no holds barred, diva persona. As we used to say, “Too Much Ain’t Enough.” That just might be her slogan. When she came to play at my WMOT 895 Fest last year, she wore a bathing suit, and her guitar slinger husband, Ian, wore a Hawaiian shirt and jam set. Fetching couple for sure. I miss all that; live music and hugs and applause, the next best thing is watching from the comfort of your home. Here is Sarah from last year’s private sessions in Nashville with one off her Road to Rome album, with the Music Fog recording of “Dickerson & Queen." (Note: there are some explicit lyrics)
