Thanks, Glenn

There really is nothing like the power of live music. In the past six weeks, I have seen two of my favorite artists up close and personal, in wonderfully intimate settings. Last night was Glenn Tilbrook's turn. What you need to know is that Glenn is a consummate professional who plays his heart out each time he steps on stage, and probably has more fun than anyone else while doing it. Last night his voice was not in top shape, but he handled his vocal challenges with characteristic self-effacing good humor, and still put on a totally cookin' show. My husband, master of all things stringed, offered as how Glenn measures up as one of the best guitar players he has ever seen - even mentioning him in the same breath as Mark Knopfler and Stevie Ray Vaughn. "Glenn shreds!," he proclaimed with glee.

On top of all this, Glenn writes the most heart-felt, observant and downright funny songs about the minutiae of human relationships that you will ever hear.

Check him out if you get the chance. He delivers every time.
