Billy Riggs Plays with Gillian Welch

I had the most fantastic dream last night, that I was playing with Gillian Welch in place of David Rawlings. I only express this, because in my life many times dreams turn out to be prophetic. Turns out they had a show at some place that looked like The Fillmore, in San Francisco. Good ole David was ill, and I was tasked with filling in. So, I showed up with my trusty ole red Washburn went up there and had at it. Wasn't as unique as Mr. Rawlings' crusty Ephiphone but once we got going and I started playing with her and harmonizing on "Orphan Girl" it was sheer magnetic bliss. It was a good show and we meshed pretty well. I ended up going back stage, hanging out and then going out with them, and in the end we worked out some kind of recording/production deal that I would work with them on - particularly with David.

Maybe this was because of the New Yorker Article, I read on them recently but either way - It was spectacular and I look forward to the deja vu experience that will coincide with that dream. Life is all about fate, destiny and purposeful events that when viewed in retrospective distance wind together to form into a beautiful tapestry of colorful experience. Dreams are just the harbingers of things to come...

Such an ellipsis...
