De Temps Antan at St. James Hall, Vancouver BC, 11/8/2014
De Temps Antan rock the hell out of St. James Hall in Vancouver, BC, on November the 8th, 2014! In which the shenanigans feature feedback loops between the fiddler and the guitarist, mammoths tapdancing on my spouse’s head, and a nonzero number of musicians who didn’t escape unhugged!

Yet another De Temps Antan road trip: Operation SWING!
In which De Temps Antan totally stomps all over Great Big Sea’s standing record for how many times I’m provoked to cross the border to see a band in one year. That’s right: another De Temps Antan road trip!

De Temps Antan in Qualicum Beach, BC 8-2-2014
In which I get up on Saturday morning at the ridiculous hour of 4:30am to spend most of the weekend zooming up to Canada and back–but for the trifecta of AWESOME that was an André Brunet workshop, a house concert, and a session, I’d do it again in a heartbeat! SWING!

And now, what happens when a Quebecois trad fangirl is on pain meds
Strange things happen in my brain when I have to deal with several days’ worth of Vicodin. Such as bitching about it in French, set to music! Behold, une petite chanson qui s’appelle “Ma bouche est malheureuse”!
