This past Sunday night I was at another concert at the American Music Theatre in Lancaster, PA. The headliners were Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives. This was my second time seeing them in concert there. My experience was enhanced by a much closer seat and my cataract operations that I had since their prior show. I would say their music was a fusion of old rock and roll with old country music. They rocked the joint for a good long time. And to really show his musical talents, the Superlatives took a break and Marty Stuart was out on stage by himself with his mandolin. He told the story about how he was with Lester Flatt's band and they came across the gentleman who wrote the fiddler players anthem, "The Orange Blossom Special." In a solo performance, Marty Stuart then proceeded to play "The Orange Blossom Special" on the mandolin, complete with the riffs on the fiddle that the song is noted for. I used to watch their show on RFD-TV but there is nothing like being there for a live performance.
With the number of concerts I've been going to lately maybe I'm sliding toward the generations looking for experiences.
