Elvis Costello Bill Kirchen Hammer of the Honky Tonk Gods

I am saving up to buy one of those amps that Bill is using. He just tears it up.

You're excused!

Thanks!

Why the hell isn't the video focusing on the man doing the playing & singing?

[jeanlass]

As explained above: I was trying to be stealthy with the camera, so I didn't stand up... therefore you can barely see Bill Kirchen. Sorry 'bout that, because he really tore up the place!

...that's why the hell.

PS: Bill Kirchen's set at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 2008 was another rip-roarer! He's amazing.

Kirchen rules !! Yeah, I can't wait to get his new album. I'm jonesin' to hear new material from him. He is truly the master of twang. I like Elvis Costello, too. Cool to see those 2 together.

I was at that show. Bill Kirchen is such a great guitar player and always puts on a heck of a show. Great to see/hear anything of him here. Thanks so much.
