Luther Guitar Junior Johnson

July 17th During the Summer there is so much free entertainment in New York that sometimes it's hard to decide what to do. Tonight there were at least three open air concerts which sounded promising. We decided to try to go to two. At Prospect Park Chicago bluesman Luther Guitar Junior Johnson was performing with his band followed by Dobro specialist from Nashville, Jerry Douglas. Locally at Coney Island Brian Wilson of Beach Boys fame was the star attraction. We caught the subway up to Park Slope and caught the set by Luther. Most of the audience weren't familiar with him but he soon won them over with renditions of blues classics plus a few originals. We were able to get a seat right at the front. When the bigger names are playing it's impossible to get a seat without arriving really early which is not what you want to do in the heat. We would have liked to have seen Jerry Douglas but decided to dash down to Coney Island to catch the second half of the Brian Wilson concert.
