Whoa, Nellie. I have to settle down after last night’s performance!
We’re both still on a high; Don even more than me because he was the one performing, of course.
It was simply great.
Don usually performs solo but occasionally he performs with Dan – who is the guy on the right. Dan plays Dobro, Mandolin, and Lap Steel Guitar (all of which he played last night) and ‘Vintage Suitcase with Brushes’ which he introduced last night. May I say it was the coolest thing ever?
Dewitt, on Upright Fretless Bass, was a new addition, and let me tell you, these three guys together were an amazing trio. They have to do this more often. They play together as if they have always done this sort of thing.
The 3-D’s? What do you think?
Do you like Don’s shirt? I have the same shirt. No…we will never wear them at the same time.
As you know, I rarely get to hear Don perform live nowadays. Gigs around here usually involve a commute of at least 45 minutes one way – often longer – and when you add in the time to set up, play, and return home again, Don’s usually gone for several hours. I can’t leave my little girl for that long. So last night’s gig, which was just down the road from our home, gave me the opportunity to sit, listen, and be enormously proud of my husband – in public.
The addition of Dan and Dewitt was the icing on the cake.
I shot a video, but it ended up being too short because my iPhone ran out of storage space. Sorry!
Don is a talented man. I know that. But when I hear him live, with an audience reacting to his words and music, I am in awe.
And bursting with pride.
I wish I could have taken you all there with me.
He dedicated a song to me.
And he sang one about Scout.
How’s that for a great guy?
All that, and the Red Sox beat the Yankees.
Happy Sunday.
I can tell that was one fabulous show! Don is a force to be reckoned with whether acting or singing, and his stage presence, being tall and handsome, must really blow any audience away! I love how you love him Claudia, and I know he writes those lovely songs for his special ‘girls’!
Thanks for sharing the performance – pics are great.
Hugs – Mary
You’re welcome. He has great stage presence and he shares his heart and humor with the audience – they love it.
P.S. Yes, Bob was so happy about the Red Sox too. GO SOX!!!!!!
Yay SOX!!!
Looks like a very fun evening!
It was, Kathy.
How I would have enjoyed sitting there with you and hearing Don and the other D’s play and sing. You are so blessed to have such an amazing man in your life.
hugs,
Linda
I am, indeed. I would have loved to have you by my side, Linda! What fun we would have!
Sounds like it was fantastic evening! I think it’s great that he’s performing with two others….would love to hear it! ;)
Hopefully, they will perform together lots more and I’ll get a video!
So glad you got to go and spend the evening with Don. Sounds like a great evening. Good to talk to you.

As always, it was great to talk to you, my friend. Have a great day. I hope it’s sunny there – it’s finally sun and warmer here. xo
Aw, how sweet to dedicate a song to you :) I don’t remember Don’s hair being so wavy like in the last pic. What a great night out for both of you.
His hair is naturally wavy – just depends on how long it is. Jealous of his hair.
Oh, what a happy girl you are today! Wonderful …
Yes, very happy to get the chance to hear him, Ann.
Well now, a lot of men sing songs for – or about – or to the women in their lives. And that’s pretty special in itself. But how many sing songs about their DOGS? Got yourself a keeper there, Claudia [as you know of course]. Enjoy your day. PS – would love to hear the “Scoutie” song someday.
He’s actually written two songs about our dogs, “Dogs in the House” and “She Saves Me.”
Yes…he’s a definite keeper, Janet!
How wonderful to have an evening out to see your husband perform, and that is close to home to boot. Hope you get more performances to enjoy.
Me too, Wendy! But this was enough to keep me happy for a long while!
Oh, what a wonderful time for you both. He sounds like the nicest man. Good heart; real substance. Obviously multi-talented. You’re a lucky couple! A good match.
He is a very nice man, Vicki.
Sounds wonderful Claudia! Don needs to do a Pacific Northwest tour so I can see him perform! Speaking of – have either you or Don ever worked with the Shakespearean Festival in Oregon??
We’ve worked with the Shakespeare Festival at the Old Globe in San Diego. I was asked to coach at Oregon, but it was the summer we were moving across country and I had to turn them down.
Sounds like you had some fun times!
The 3-D’s… I like it.
Congrats on your team winning their game last night… the Rangers won last night too! (but not today) :/
have a great start to another week!
We lost on Sunday, but we won today – the season opener at Fenway.
A very nice post, Claudia. We could hear the happiness in your voice.
It was truly a wonderful night, Nancy.
So glad you & Don had a wonderful evening!
We did, Debbie!
This is a lovely post. I would have loved to have been there!
I would have loved to have all of you there!
Such good pictures Claudia..I wish that video would have worked out..Didn’t we see Dan visiting your home in a post one time??..Love the name 3-D’s..
Wow, my handsome BIL looks pretty fantastic up on that stage. So glad you enjoyed the night.
