Lennie Gallant: Searching for Abegweit

Web

I’m still on Prince Edward Island and this is the show that I went to tonight.  I cancelled my plane reservations at a penalty of nearly $400 to stay to see it and I must say it was worth it!!! Best show I’ve ever seen. Hard to duplicate the effect of his lyrics, music, story seques and the incredible background projections of his sister’s paintings, but here is one song:

Here is the same song, but with the images of his sister’s stunning paintings behind him:

If you ever get a chance to see it, don’t hesitate. Has anyone else seen it?

Blowing Her Own Horn

The promptt: Critical Eye–Write about your blog as though you were a music critic.

Blowing Her Own Horn

This blogger writes of this and that––
sometimes sharp and sometimes flat.
And though her phrasing is not stiff,
it’s usually devoid of riff.

Her instrument of choice? Her blog.
Her subjects? Modern life, her dog,
photography or 3-D art,
affairs of politics or heart.

World Music would be how I’d class it,
so when you find it, don’t just pass it.
Her themes are most original,
from Pop to Aboriginal.

Lyrics are her major thing––
meant to read instead of sing.
The critic’s lines that she most hates?
“This lady sure ain’t no Tom Waits!”
