Interesting items:
Randy Stonehill, "Guitarist
virtuoso".
The first time we saw Randy, he was
opening for Daniel Amos during the "Shotgun Angel" Tour. Randy came on
stage , a tall skinny kid, wire rimmed glasses, long curly hair, his trademark
patched bell bottoms and his red Humming Bird (a real sweet guitar). I
was not overly impressed, as Randy walked on stage, after all we had come
to hear Terry & company. But from the first ring of his guitar, to
the last note I was hooked, and had the satisfaction of meeting Randy and
his guitar for the first time.
His style of hooks, riffs and chords makes Randy one
of the most dynamic acoustic
guitar players in the business today.
Randy Stonehill, "Man of wisdom".
Randy Stonehill, "Guitar destroyer"
Randy Stonehill "Storyteller"
An evening with Randy is filled with music and personal
reflections that both entertains, challenges and moves the audience. His
1993 " Stories" album is a collection of some of his best story songs.
Who of us has know the bullies in the song "Rachel Delevoryas? Or perhaps
has been one of them at one time"
Did you catch the Legends Tour? It was
incredible, I caught it at Cornerstone Festival in 2001.
I had forgotten how awesome Sweet Comfort
Band was.
Randy Stonehill did a couple songs with
the Band (looked Like the DA gang)
and Larry Norman came out a sang with
Uncle Ran (finally after years of waiting for this reunion)..
Randy had such anointing on him that
night. His closing song was a tribute to old friends
Mark Heard and Gene Eugene, and others
how have made it home before us.
After all of these years, Randy
still commands the audience with his musician ship,
his energy but most of all his honesty
and integrity.
(I am trying to figure out how to put up a MP3 file of Randy and Larry from Cornerstone)
