so, i'm back in halifax for the buskers fest.
we play on the waterfront surrounded by wonderful old stone buildings.
it is a whole different world, playing on the street,
the audience right there with us, ready to be entertained.
BROTHER first played here in 94. the last time was 2001.
many good memories.
this is the first time here with no brothers
and it is kind of weird to have no one to share those earliest memories with.
gives me a glimpse of the solo performer experience ...
but soul brothers drew and t are with me and the playing feels good.
and best of all, i'm on the road with the family again.
asa proves himself to be a natural for the gypsy lifestyle.
holding the little fella, now so much bigger, so much more aware,
never fails to make everything okay.
all those other tiresome things just fall away.
a beautiful day out there.
time to go make some more music ...

vive la halifax! et BROTHER!
ReplyDeleteI just caught the last few tunes of your set in Halifax on a stinking hot day (for us!). The energy was way higher than anyone had a right to but i guess you're used to the heat! I was so impressed, i bought two cds! Well done and i'll look forward to your next visit!
ReplyDeleteHello! I was the one with the wee flip camera:) Remember? Say...."Art!" Did not know you had a blog. Good stuff. Welcome back to Halifax:)I'll send you an email when the video is posted. Drew and his crazy eyes made the cut too:)
ReplyDeleteCheers, Shelagh(aliceinparis)
It was so great having you back here in Halifax (even if it was without your brothers - seems every time you guys come back, you're one brother less!). I loved hearing the new versions of the old tunes, and the new tunes as well! I had gotten some bad news the first weekend and seeing you guys helped keep my mind off of it, for a little while at least. So thank you for cheering me up that weekend. =)
ReplyDeleteI hope it doesn't take you another 8 years to come back! ;-)
