Bruce's busy December
Published 1997-12-19
Bruce has performed on at least three occasions in December. First
on the 7th at the Kennedy Centre Honors which was a tribute to Bob Dylan. Here Bruce did
a rather rough version of "The Times They Are a-Changin'". Snippets of the performance
have been shown on various news broadcasts, but the whole thing will be aired on
December 26th on CBS.
The next time Bruce appeared on a public stage was at a Joe Grushecky show on
December 13 at Cheers. Bruce played on two songs "Homestead" and "Never Be Enough
Time". Allegedly his participation was very subdued. He only played acoustic guitar and
actually sat on a stool.
The third time was three days later, only this time it wasn't at a public stage, but at his own
Christmas party where he helped the house band (fronted by Bobby Bandiera) on lots of
rocking Christmas tunes. Yeah, we would have liked to be there too, but we couldn't make
it. Which was probably just as well, because we weren't invited.
By the way, as a matter of form, even though you all have probably known this a long time...
Bruce did not show up at the Hungerthon benefit. Surprise!
