Hi,
I made it back in one piece.
I'm staying in archive mode for a personal reason - my addictive
personality. I miss the fun here but need to regroup my energies.
I do want to share a few things though.
Firstly, Vusi Malasehla was at Winnipeg and he is as good as hoped for.
Apparently Dave Matthews was instrumental (pun intended) in bringing him to
this continent.
Secondly, for Monique, Linda Tillery and the Cultural Heritage Choir
celebrate the contributions of African-American music to music worldwide and
they are a knock-out! A must see... Interestingly they have a guy in their
group - first guy to be in the group - and he is a soprano! Words don't do
justice...
Larry, I saw the Arrogant Worms and they were fun. The songs are great, like
"I am Cow" and "I Pulled My Groin"... but the chaotic improvised repartee
was what made them really worth watching. They felt a little "lightweight"
compared to some of the other acts there.
Buena Vista Social Club was there and was the overwhelming favourite.
A new discovery for me was the old-timer, "Utah Phillips". I recommend him
especially to both Dana and Tim! A thought-provoking and inspiring person a
great storyteller. He told one about this guy who was working some abandoned
gold mines on government property. In order to get in and out without being
noticed he had to bring in dynamite on a pack mule. One night there was a
bad storm and he was struck by lightning. All they found the next day was a
big hole, the miner's hat and the back end of the mule. But thanks to the
modern miracle of plastic surgery they put all the pieces together and now
he's the President of the United States! ;-)
cheers,
Patrick
PS. No weed or tobacco, though I was tempted....:-)
