Subject: In Praise of Chuck Brodsky
I saw Chuck Brodsky perform only a few years ago for the first time.This was at the Ottawa Folk Festival at a workshop concerning Christmas. Ironically,Chuck was a performer at this workshop so he sang his song about missing Christmas customs as a child because he was jewish!The crowd loved it.I have since heard him sing a number of songs, most of them humorous or deeply moving,all of them IMHO great.Here are two of his great songs:The Man Who Blew Kisses and in studio from utube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q8CHJ3i1Aw
