Kim Richey

So about a month ago, I'm at work and Stef calls me and says...."if there was a someone coming in town for a concert, and it was in your top 3 of people to see of all time, would you want to go." So I'm like DEFINATELY!!! Long story short, she tells me it is Kim Richey, the best songwriter of ALL time! No joke. Check her out. Her craft and lyrics are phenomenal! No comparison. Tell me of someone else who has the ability to craft words in such a way. I bet you can't.
Anyway, we went to the concert at the Belcourt. Great intimate setting and it sounded AWESOME!!!
So after she gets a standing O for about 5 minutes, she comes back out to do an encore. I hollered out for her to do "Hello Old Friend." She didn't think she could remember it, but..did it anyway. SO GREAT! Didn't even mess up.

So, if that wasn't enough, she did about a 30 min encore finishing with a great rendition of "What a Wonderful World."
When we walk out the back of the theatre, she was standing there for a meet and greet. So, not only did I get to meet her

but she signed my guitar too!

Completely awesome.
Stef had her sign the CD covers, and she was gracious enough to sign one for a friend too. ("Mike, where the heck were you?")
Anyway, the best concert I have ever been to, and a completely wonderful evening!
