Oh Me Oh My-O Gillian Welch

In a blue dress with flowers in sequins and black cowgirl boots, Gillian Welch had hippies dancing in the aisles in Olympia last night. She has such strong facial features and so natural – and her accompanying guitar player dude had his hair standing up in tuffs and pants a little up from his ankles. He rocked back and forth and plucked his little guitar like mad.

This was the last night on their tour and they still came out for two encores. I saw two fellow-MIT graduate students and sat next to one, plus all my roommates. My good friends Sue and Tim were in the front row.

It was awesome. It will definitely go up there on one of my favorite Olympia experiences.
