Opening night for The Winnipeg Folk Festival was last night. The headliner was Elvis Costello  :)^


AH I LOVE ELVIS! Costello! Was he with, or without "The Attractions"? Had the fun of seeing him here in philly on two sucessive nights years ago the first solo and the next night with "The Attractions". He does put on a good show.

:<:: Pump it up when you don't really need it.
Pump it up until you can feel it.

George, Elvis was with his band 'The Imposters'. I'm not sure what songs he did because we weren't there :P

He is one of the few who ever show up wearing 'formal' attire though :D

There is a really seasick story out of Chicago today about desecrations of the graves in the historic Burr Oaks Cemetery....by the owners who were re-selling plots after digging up old grave sites. :8O:

They have been doing this for over 4 years :angry:

During the winter season, we went to a lot of music sessions all over the area. One of the musicians I enjoyed was a man who played the accordian. In fact, he had about four or five with him of all kinds - large and really small. It was fun to see what he could do. We had a lady at Port Aransas who played the standard large accordian.

Tuesday night, we went to the local jam session. One of the guys who is MEGA talented and must be in his 70s - plays an electric keyboard. He sounds like the old "honky tonk piano players" and can play any song - no sheet music. One of the guys was going to sing a song, and he asked Bill (on keyboard) to give him a little banjo. Half way through the song, he switched to something else, and I couldn't think of what it was. Later, talking to him, he switched to accordian! It was great. It is amazing what those electric keyboards can do.

Another musician on a more modern keyboard can start a beat going or harmony to what he is playing. He also sings, and when he gets to the chorus, he hits a button, and it sounds like several people singing together. Really nice.

Another fun instrument is the harmonica. We have a family who play. Did you know there is a harmonica - if you are going to play a song in the key of C, one for the key of A, one for F, and so on and so one. One is a base (sp?) and is the granddaddy of all harmonicas. We often joke that on some songs, he has to get from a low note to a high note and back so fast, that if he's not careful, he's going to get whiplash! :D (Note: was going to post video, but is too large. Will edit and try to post later.)

For all the flower lovers....

This is a giant Gerbera Spinner Daisy that now resides in my neighbor's garden. The blooms are at least 5 inches in diameter :o Somehow it is still upright after our massive downpours this morning :D
