Thread Name: CBC's Kitchen Party Series is GO!
Subject: RE: CBC's Kitchen Party Series is GO!
I can hardly wait, I recall seeing a special on Stan Rogers a few years ago and they did Barrett's Privateers sitting around a Cape Breton Kitchen. It was magical. I come from a very musical family and have had some of the greatest times of my life sitting around my Uncle Vinnie's table with him playing the 5 string, My Uncle Don playing the tenor and mandolin, my Uncle Frank playing fiddle and tenor, my Sister Susan playing the guitar along with a number of my cousins. A typical evening will have bluegrass, Irish, Blues, Folk, Beatles era rock, doo wop, country etc. I have extremely diverse tastes in music and I believe that they stem from years of listening to music in this setting. Unfortunately they live about eight hours away, so I don't get to do this foten enough, although I'm on my way tomorrow for a few days.
