Pam Tillis, Lari White, Gretchen Peters and Danielle Peck played in the round at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville tonight, a fundraiser for the Downtown YMCA.
The highlight was a Tillis and Peters duet on “Let That Pony Run.” Gretchen wrote the song, which Pam made a top five country hit in 1993.
Peters revealed that the cut led to a songwriting appointment with Tillis at her home. Tillis was at the peak of her career at the time, and apparently a little consumed by her busy schedule.
Tillis excused herself at one point and Peters waited. And waited.
“She never came back,” Peters laughed.
