  Brewer & Shipley's annual shows at Wildwood Springs Resort in Steelville, Missouri, on September 19 & 20 were awesome.  Several long-time friends and musical associates of Brewer & Shipley's came for the weekend, and Michael & Tom were in a great mood to put on two wonderful shows.  One fan termed it a Brewer & Shipley summit.  So it was fitting that their friend, and frequent contributor to this site, Len Jaffe performed the opening sets both nights, mixing some classic folk songs with his own wonderful self-penned tunes.

The lucky fans who made it to Steelville this year were in for a very special and unexpected treat.  At about the mid-way point of both the Friday & Saturday shows their long-time guitarist Larry Knight, who hasn't played with them in almost 30 years, joined Brewer & Shipley on stage and added some amazing electric guitar to augment their great acoustic sound.  The audiences loved it and so did Michael & Tom.  With special friends Dan "Mort" Moriarty, and Gary Peterson in attendance who were with Michael, Tom, and Larry in the Good Karma days, it seemed so appropriate that Saturday night's last encore ended with a song they haven't performed live in years, their old friend Ted Anderson's "Seems Like A Long Time". 

Michael called it the most fun time they have had in their nearly 15 years at Wildwood.
