I’m in luck today! Linda managed to tape the OLP show that was being aired on Rogers for me. For all of those who are keeping track, it was the show that Vero and I won tickets to back in the Fall of ’05.
I am disappointed to hear that it’s only an hour long and is intermixed with interviews. Also known as NOT THE FULL CONCERT! I heard they even cut out the scene where Raine Maida climbs up on the balcony.
Ah well. It’ll still be cool to see some songs from the setlist!
I managed to snag some tickets to see Sam Roberts on April 21 here at the New Capital Music Hall. I am stoked. Tickets were only $10.69 for the first 100 to purchase them. Awesome! You can’t go wrong with that price! Those 100 tickets sold out in 10 minutes (unfortunately for Carrie who missed the train by a minute).
What can I say about S.Roberts? His new album comes out on April 11. A concert 10 days after that. I cannot go wrong.
In other news, I’m learning You are My Sunshine on guitar as my Nanny’s birthday party is coming up. I was having trouble finding an authoritative source on how this should sound but it looks like it’s an old folk song (from what I can tell at least…let me know if I’m wrong and I can find THE source.) Found some old Johnny Cash covers that maybe I’ll work with.
Or, maybe I”ll just throw some Palmer spin into it and sample some Beastie Boys along with it.
