Live at the Center last night.
Lander Ballard and George Graybill
Lander Ballard presented an hour of music, last night, live at the Center. He sang and played original songs and familiar tunes from Clapton to the Beatles. He was assisted by George Graybill on bass. We enjoyed it very much.
They were the opening act for No Justice, a rock band from Stillwater, Oklahoma.
The rock band's set was loud and distorted, not geared for a small auditorium at all. The distortion blended the sounds into one strain. We couldn’t tell the drums from the bass and the three guitars were unidentifiable from the vocals. The words were almost completely obscured. We learned that the band preferred it that way at the sound check. Too bad.

I sure would like to see Lander again. I used to go see him at Bluff City Landing in Mount Carmel, IL.

Thanks. I would like to see him again too. At that time, he was a personal friend of the Simmons Center entertainment director, or I wouldn't have had the opportunity to see him then. It was a good show.
