Some are really talented musicians, and I am blessed by the tremendous variety of great players I get to work with - this weekend is no exception. Friday and Saturday with wonderful W. African guitarist and singer, Moussa Konate, who is starting to appear more on the local scene again. last we week we had a real spur of the moment live radio duet (archived on www.kgnu.org Fri Morning Sound Alternative with Meredith Carson) In the last year or so he has done a bit of traveling with blues wizard, Corey Harris, and this summer he was teaching and performing at the Centrum Blues Festival at Port Townsend. We play in two contrasting settings - Fri with a band and Saturday as a duo. Sunday continues the duo theme - with Lionel Young. Have you heard Lionel lately? His musical persona, always amazing, has grown significantly with the experience his accolades have earned him.
All this in Aurora, Arvada, Denver - can you beat that! (See below.) And if you missed out in the eating department this week, you can check out some of the best Ethiopian, pizza and barbeque, respectively. It's the holidays, live a little. Sometimes we need to thank ourselves, too...
See you there,
Dexter
