Paul Teneyuque and I represented the Kaye Pasa Trio tonight at this music memorial for Terry. Georgia (Terry's widow) asked me to perform "Hot Pepper Tamale," which provided some needed tension release in an evening otherwise filled with dirges. Two individuals asked me later to perform it at their funerals if they go before me.

Saw the incredible Guy Forsyth Band at Saxon Pub last night. Guy rocks! This was one of the best shows I've ever attended (in the crowd or on stage).
Rather than talk between songs, Guy tends to extend a song's intro to talk over the opening bars of music. His spoken intros are exactly enough for a laugh or to pique the audience's curiosity. He connected instantly with the crowd and held our attention and interest through the whole show. During the show, Guy played three different guitars, switching between them to get the right sound for each song. He also showcased his expertise playing harmonica on a couple of songs, and played one song on ukulele and one on the saw. If there hadn't been another band waiting to load-in for the next act of the evening, I think the crowd would have kept Guy on stage for the whole night asking for an encore. |
