Downpour.

May 2, Nashville.

Today was Johnny Moss' tenth birthday, and the party under the cook house tent was soon followed by a downpour, the field rapidly turning into a lake, the usual story. The whole town seemed to come out to see the crew put up the tent in spite of the weather, school bus after school bus, I counted at least six, the added spectacle of semis being pulled out of the mud by other semis; a storm just preceded us onto the field, presage of more to come throughout the day. We're set to pull out of here and onto a parking lot after the show.
