Linda joined our hometown boy Joe Ely at the Tornado Jam here in Lubbock TX where I finally got to see her perform live for the first time. It had rained the night before and turn out to be quite the mud-fest with 40,000'ish in attendance. She was wonderful, as was Joe:
 
She arrived a few days before the concert and they jammed with members of the Maines Brothers Band (Natalie Maines family) at a place called the Cotton Club outside the city. They were playing for a High School graduation party, the venue was rented until midnight, and in spite of the fact that Linda Ronstadt was in the house--among other excellent local musicians, the owner of the Venue ordered everyone to leave at midnight mid-jams... He was an idiot!

I think a few of us have heard of the Tornado Jam in the past--and of course Lubbock was the birthplace of the ultra-legendary Buddy Holly.

Found some new pictures of Linda from this event. A couple from Joe Ely's Facebook page, he wished her a Happy Birthday with one and congratulated her Medal with the other. I wonder if that's JD Souther on the left in that first pic? He is from Amarillo, just north of Lubbock.
