    Two more fun pics of me and De Temps Antan

    Dara put up a few posts of her own detailing her POV of our adventures in Harrison Hot Springs, including a loverly picspam of various things we looked at. Including a couple of shots off of her camera of me and the boys of De Temps Antan! I particularly like this one, of my reaction…

    And now, to solve an ongoing problem

    My belovedest of Daras is at a bit of a loss when it comes to comprehending my rampageous affection for Quebecois traditional music. She doesn’t speak a lick of French, and so I could mention any one of the various bands I’m following, only to have their names just parse to her as “French sounds”.…

    That squeal of delight you just heard was me

    Because, O Internets, I just more or less figured out the rest of “Manteau d’hiver”! Which, for those of you who may just be joining in, is my very favorite instrumental by Le Vent du Nord, off of their current album Tromper le temps. I adore it to bits, as I have fangirlishly squealed about…

    A bit of musical squee!

    And now, several moments of musical squee from last night! In a move that should surprise absolutely NOBODY who pays attention to what I post for more than five minutes running, a little part of my brain demanded last night, “YOU NEED TO FIGURE OUT THE CHORDS TO VIVE L’AMOUR NOW.” Because y’all knew this…

    Le Vent du Nord at Hermann's Jazz Club, Victoria BC, 4/6/2013

    I made absolutely no secret of how crushed I was, Internets, when I missed Le Vent du Nord’s Oregon show this past November. And I was quite disappointed as well when the symphony show in Vancouver was cancelled. But tonight, I am thrilled to report that the show at Hermann’s Jazz Club in Victoria, BC,…
