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 recorded 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 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.
