I didn't record anything because I only knew a single chorus to one bad song. Foghat has got to be one of the worst, overblown arena acts ever. I'm sure the 'badness' is a big part of the whole shtick. Diedrich - I really appreciate your comments. Yeah - I walked to many parts of the Wonder to 'hear' the show, but it was unfortunately a disappointment. I had hopes, these folks have a lot of history. Perhaps this was something of a new experiment for them as part of this festival? Calvin - I “think” I may have seen you or a lookalike as I passed the White Eagle the other night.

I thought the group had some real moments but I agree there seemed to be some sort of sound problem - their balance didn't seem quite right and/or I thought the Wonders sound system seemed really muddy & bottom heavy... also I was really put off by the back half of the crowd drinking & talking ( I was on the second row)... consequently the music could't really have any quiet spaces...so buzz buzz buzz!! but I did enjoy it... I'll try to get by NAAU tomorrow - lets get together when things settle down! sorry I didn’t run into you @ Frith/Parkins/Mori - I looked but the place was full!

I like the portraits used for selecting which artist you want to look at. That's a nice change. Holcombe Waller played a beautiful song with the Portland Cello Project for TBA. That whole show was amazing and emotionally powerful. Did you record anything for John Head? I tried to lead about 15 people in recording. None of whom had really played any instruments before, besides myself. It was a mess, but an absolutely fantastic mess. The NAAU site looks great.
