I bought a ticket for a streaming concert, Corb Lund playing the whole "Five Dollar Bill" album with the original trio, telling the stories of the songs as well. Set for Dec 19, but rising COVID numbers in Alberta have put the brakes on, it's no longer safe for Corb to get together with his band & producer & engineer to pull this gig off, so it's bumped to January 8.

You know it's a bad pandemic when your streaming concerts are postponed!

Over the weekend joined the livestream of The Hold Steady's "Weekender". At this time of year in normal times they do two nights in London, which I've long wanted to go to but never managed, for the usual reasons. It was a lot of fun. But reminded us how much we're missing the whole live gig experience.

Had some ups & downs last week. I did get my first dose vaccine (Moderna flavour, thanks Dolly Parton!) but Corb Lund cancelled his "Agricultural Tragic" tour dates, tickets I had been hanging on to since pre-pandemic

The youngest member of my family is a HUGE Corb Lund fan, and has turned 17 and then 18 in quarantine, so the way things are going she could very well be 19 by the time this concert finally happens and able to attend (19+ venue).

Had some ups & downs last week. I did get my first dose vaccine (Moderna flavour, thanks Dolly Parton!)

I got the Moderna and felt great about doing it if only because of Dolly's "Vaccine" cover of "Joline."

A goddamn national treasure.

She sure is. Youngest me is also a huge fan, and jealous I got the Dolly vax (she's up next week). She recently did a "dance/acrobatic contact ball routine" to "Dumb Blonde" as a tribute to Dolly at a recent youth arts festival. Made her own costume out of a yellow jumpsuit and wore her sister's old Irish dance wig (the event was livestreamed, not currently archived or you KNOW i would share a link. I love that giant little weirdo so much).

Not for me, but...


So... he “drink(s) alone?”

Barfly is such a great movie. Except for Faye Dunaway and that British actress that plays the publisher.
Mickey Rourke and... Frank Stallone are great in it.
To all my friends!!

Just another cancellation for me. Martin Barre with Clive Bunker, & Dee Palmer, rescheduled twice and now cancelled. For my money, Clive Bunker is one of THE great drummers of the 60s/70s, I'd rank him with Bill Ward, Neal Smith, and others whose names you don't recognize. I was really excited to have a chance to see him.

Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit with Lucinda Williams rescheduled for the 2nd time, as was an evening with David Sedaris, both to March.

But in good news I BOUGHT NEW concert tickets, for Godspeed You! Black Emperor, at my favourite venue to boot (The Vogue Theatre). That's also in March. March is shaping up to be a real banger, as the kids say (or said, somewhere, 10+ yrs ago probably).
