Went to see Cindy, playing behind Dave Alvin and Christy McWilson at the "Family Wash" in Nashville tonight. What a great time!
A very small venue, fifty seats or so. It was the next best thing to having them in my own living room! They did some some songs from the new Guilty Women CD, and a few others that Dave and Christy had written. Beautiful Dobro playing by Cindy! Great guitar playing by Dave Alvin! Some very fine vocals by Dave and Christy!
My wife and I got to shoot the breeze with Cindy, Dave, and Christy after the show, what cool people!
For a Cindy Cashdollar/Dobro nut like myself, this was the Queen Mother of all hangs!

I've decided that Christy McWilson is one of the finest singers in the business.
Did Cindy play dobro the whole time?
I assume it was her black Beard Mike Auldridge Signature. Did she go with the no microphone look and plug in with the Fishman Aura?

Mark,
Christy most certainly is one of the finest singers in the business.
Cindy laid out only for about three songs. She was using the Dobro plugged in.
I just love this womans touch on Dobro, she is quite simply the best that there is at what she does.

That would have absolutely rocked. Dave Alvin when he was with the Blasters, those guys could tear it up.
Think Marie Marie somewhere about the mid 80's

Dave Alvin & the Guilty Women opened up their set at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass earlier this month in Golden Gate Park with "Marie Marie" and it rocked as good as any version I've seen, and Cindy was tearin' it up on lap steel.

John,
I would have loved to seen that show. I'm in Nashville(Goodlettsville) every year the first week in June. I have a 66 Chevelle SS that I take to whats called Chevell-A-Bration, It's held in Moss Wright park. We generally just leave the car on the show field and hang out in Nashville.
It's my luck there is never anything like that happening when we get there. Always seems like the world is in preparation for CMA when we get there. I always make it to Piranha's for lunch when were down there. 7:30 in the morning and I'm thinking about Nashville bar food.

Rocky,
I know the feeling, Music City is real misnomer these days. This place musically is an empty shell of the city I came to 25 years or so ago.
Nothing lasts forever I guess.

A great group photo and some excellent musicians, several of the girls are from Austin and I know them well. Besides Cindy, to Dave's right is bassist Sarah Brown (played with all the blues greats) and to Dave's left is Lisa Pankratz, one of the best drummers in town for country and roots.
Sadly, alone on the bottom row is fiddler Amy Tiven, who recently died by her own hand a couple weeks ago. She was a troubled girl but a good picker.

Herb,
Dave does have a happening band going on there, I need to catch the entire group sometime.
Sad indeed about Miss Amy, I can't even begin to understand troubles on that level.
