Bill Payne Notes (2026-05-25):  
--Little Feat played an early evening show Sunday at the Legend Valley - Dark Star Jubilee, in Thornville, OH.  
--Some storms threatened to upend the schedule.  
--Mid-afternoon we had a rehearsal to go over "Tennessee Jed,' which I would sing with Tony Leone.  
--Joining us were Jimmy Law on guitar & Jeremy Kaplan on keyboards from Dogs In a Pile.  
--During the rehearsal, Jeremy told me that when he & Jimmy were at Berklee they played "Waiting For Columbus" for one of their classes with a horn section that patterned themselves after Tower Of Power.  Not long after performing our album they dropped out of school.  I told him, "If you could do justice to that album, you were beyond staying in school."  
--By the time we went on to play, the weather cooperated.  It was a light rain & then it stopped for most of our show.  
--A few weeks ago we hit a home run in New Orleans at Jazz Fest.  We did it again Sunday evening.  It was all going well until the guys came up to play the "Dixie Chicken" "Tennessee Jed" medley.  Jeremy and I had a great weave of solos going back & forth, bringing us back to the second verse of "Chicken."  Then I had the brilliant idea to take a photo of Jimmy, Fred, & Scott during their solos.  While reaching for my iPhone in my right pocket, I had moved too far to the left on the bench, tipping it over.  There was no way to stop it.  I was going down!  I took a slow-motion roll towards Tony's drum riser, mindful to miss the "V" of it with my head.  I hit the ground & rolled to my left on my back & pointed both my legs to the heavens.  Jeremy got up to help me, but I waved him off good naturedly.  I rolled again onto my knees so I could stand up, showing the iPhone to the crowd, holding it high in the air with a big smile on my face.  I then proceeded to take the shot that had brought on the calamity.  All in a night's work.  The band didn’t see any of it--some friends in the audience told them.  I will try not to make it part of the show!
