I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes
Mid 1970s? A parking lot jam session the night of the first Clark College bluegrass festival in Vancouver, Washington. 'Twas a high-spirited time, fueled by lots of alcohol, as is quite evident. Boy, did we used to have fun! In the days before jam sessions became such serious, organized endeavors ruled by "protocol". Nancy was an irrepressible clown who made up different verses every time she sang, but even when pouring it on you can hear what a good old-time country voice she had.
