We made it to the newest version of the new Weidmann’s last night.  The food was pretty good.  The company was great.  I’ll withhold a review while they get through their shakedown period.  We’ll be back, and I am eager to try them out for lunch.  Here are  a few pics …

 After dinner, we ambled over to the Sucarnochee Revue at the Temple Theater, beginning their seventh year.  As it happened, the show was being recorded by MPB for airing later, and it was announced that the public network will televise 26 shows.  Last night’s production featured music of Elvis and Meridian’s Jimmie Rodgers.  It was the first time for Lisa and me.  The music ranged from bluegrass, to mountain folk, to jug band, to blues, to rock and roll, to country.  The quality was surprisingly good, although that should not be surprising, given Meridian’s history of talented musicianship. 

The show was a great reminder that Mississippi is indeed, the birthplace of America’s music, and that Jimmie Rodgers played a major role.

Performers included Britt Gulley and Water Mocassin, Jakeleg and the Stompers, Dr. Jim Matthews, and Track 45.  There were many others, but I never could put my hands on a program, before or after the show, and I didn’t have pen and paper to write them down.  Next time I’ll try to do better.  Here are a couple of pics …
