After a long, hot, humide summer day in the park setting up sound checks for that night's shows finally an overwhelming crowd (they say 10,000 people attended) was thrilled to hear the delights of Pink Martini.

Great stuff! (I'm going to have to cool the computer down before the cooling fans rev up enough for the AlBook to take flight.)
This year's Festival is just loaded with great music. Bill Frisell took the stage in an intimate setting at the National Library and Archives Canada on Sunday night!!! What a tastefull player and an inspiration to us all... here he is doing one of my favourite Dylan tunes.

fantastic video. listening to his live stuff you get the sense that the band is not rehearsed and that they're just following bill. but then some incredibly tight moments happen and it almost seems like they would have had to rehearse. i guess i'll never know...until i meet him.
