An Interlude. Friends Invite Us to See U2 in Chicago…
Lily and Cathy the Gumbo Queen on the U2 Bus...
Lily has absolutely no idea who U2 is. This is cracking me up. She is parading around the bus with some flowers that the driver gave me, looking for her butterfly sunglasses. We are having gumbo that my friend Cathy Hendrix actually made and toted to the airport to meet us. We are all souherners here on the tour bus. Alabama, Louisiana and Georgia are represented. There is an intense gumbo discussion going on… do you like it golden and frothy or brown and swampy? I prefer swampy. With okra… shrimp… mmm.
So, we are going to go on with our trip and i’m sure we’ll be singing “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” soon so Lily can know at least one song… She has not found her glasses, btw.
We are remembering George… I met Cathy through George and she moved with me to Atlanta all those years ago. If you look on my page and see the pics of me in the green sweater, you can find a pic of me, cathy and lorna in our backyard at a party we gave. You might know I met George when Lorna told me to “look now!” at the cute guy who was checking us out from the stage at a Producer’s show. I looked, he jumped down and walked up to us and I was never the same.
Ride this wave of love, Lisa + Lily + your whole LOVE L-U-V filled bus of SOUTHERNERS!!!
GUMBO!!
We love Cathy, too.
I wish I knew what time you, (I meant Y’all), will be driving up 55 North–I’d stand on the side of the road with a big ole sign.
Raise some hell for us all, OK?
