Someone I know very well works for Wildwood Springs Lodge in Steelville, MO and she said that they have tried to get you there for a long time. It just seems like a perfect place for you???

David Grisman Quintet
Taj Mahal, etc... are just a few of the people that will be there. It is the most perfect atmosphere.

So, I was just curious why you haven't played there yet?

Thanks,
Justin

Don't recall hearing anything about it? What is it? Anyway, maybe they never were able to reach an agreement with my agents or something... I have worked my way out of the business part of all this - don't really care for it to much - I just wanna play. So maybe that's why I never heard about it. :)

Just a little bit about the place

Wildwood was built during the " Roaring 20's" by men of dreams. These men dreamed of building a magnificent, commodious, modern resort hostel. They dreamed of bringing their children out to hunt or fish on the 2000 acres that encompassed the surrounding wild country. They dreamed of gathering during the evening for an elegant dinner served on white tablecloths, with fine china and dressed in their finest. They dreamed of dancing the nights away listening to Wildwood own orchestra. They dreamed of the magic of music..

Wildwood set idle for years, nestled in the Ozark hills like a beautiful sleeping giant. After reopening the lodge a few years ago, I wanted to bring back the magic of music to "The Wildwood". Fortunately, I met Tom Shipley of Brewer & Shipley, and since then the tradition of music has returned. A friend said to me,"Why not more?". I took her to heart, and the annual Wildwood Fall Concert Series was born. Since then, artists like the legendary rock & roll man Johnnie Johnson, Doc Watson, Dave Mason, Tony Rice, John Hammond, Pure Prarie League, Richie Havens, Vassar Clements, Leo Kottke bluegrass icon and friend of Wildwood, John Hartford, Mickey Thomas, the signature voice of Jefferson Starship, and many, many more have performed at Wildwood.


A getaway at Wildwood has been compared to a week-end at Grandma's house. Concert day, guests arrive, get settled in, and relax until dinner time....6pm sharp! Just like Grandma's house, everyone eats their hearty, homestyle meal

together, in the spacious, old fashioned dining room. Don't get too full, homemade desert and coffee come next! There's no need to rush a good thing, and remember my motto "You're here to relax!". While everyone is enjoying dinner, our staff is busy rearranging the lobby, adjusting the sound system, and building a roaring fire in the grand old stone fireplace. For the convenience of our guests, we have a full service bar, open for the duration of the performance.


With the help of a special friend, we haveput together a terrific line-up for music fans, young and old. So please try to make it to the Ozarks this fall...... it will be a memory to last a lifetime!


It's a great place for a concert but even if you want to get away for a few days.

Thanks Arlo, I now have some little tune similar to the Alice's Restaurant riff going through my head while reading your post! Don't know why, it just struck me as something that could be in a song...It's been a long day
