On
the Road Out East
A few friends and myself made a trip out to the New York area to hear
one of our favorite bands NRBQ
celebrate their 35th anniversary with two shows up in North Hampton
MA.
On the way up we decided to stop at the legendary Big Pink house where
another favorite group of ours The
Band lived and wrote a lot of the music for their first record,
Music
From Big Pink.
The fabled Basement
Tapes with Bob Dylan were also recorded there. The house is up
in the Woodstock / West Saugerties area, beautiful country not too
dissimilar from the Red Wing area here in Minnesota. With the Catskill
mountains in the background and the magnolia trees in full bloom it
made for a wonderful afternoon.
