Parker at Hawthorn 4-8-25

 

Parker Millsap, opening for Larkin Poe at The Hawthorn in Saint Louis. I recruited Dave Shogren and his wife Linda and Tom (Scooter Man). The four of us riding with Tom (as our driver in his new car) met at Dave and Linda's place on Gayola in Maplewood. We did a bit of "Front Porchin' " before grabbing a bite to eat at Hi Pointe (on Dave). 

The venue is spacious, The crowd shuffled in as doors opened at 7pm. There was just enough time for us to visit the bar, where Tom bought a round of 16 oz Modelo Beers. The stage is dramatic and Parker Millsap is a crowd pleaser.

Parker promises to be available for the sale of merch (T Shirts, CDs, LPs, and mini watercolor masterpieces). I was able to update my CD collection with the latest available. Parker was welcoming and with a big smile he said "And I have something for you..." That "something was a Morgan crest pin that explains the Welsh Irish origin of the name and the motto FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD. 

It's always fun to catch Parker Millsap in Saint Louis. I've seen him at the Pageant (twice), Delmar Hall, Off Broadway (three times), The Rock House. 

Planning a road trip to see Parker in Memphis on May 30, 2025. (I will visit with Dr and Mrs. Thomas Farrar and Ryan on that trip.)
