"Oppressive love songs" indeed!!!
Should I be insulted?!! *Sheesh!*

Thanks for the glowing review, flatso.
I definitely had fun. And I like going on first because then I can get it over with and relax for the rest of the show. (Yes, I was nervous for the first little bit. I had a cold, and was being very careful with my voice. But I like mics, so that was ok.) The other guys were great, wish all you 'catters could have come to hear it all...

The song about Ophelia is called In Death She Blooms, it's sort of a morbid, romanticized lament about the dead body, with flowers lying draped on it and stuff. It was written by a friend of mine who IS a 'Goth'. (She's not really Mason-ish though.)

No Guarantees is opressive, yes, but I can't believe that you think Night Garden is opressive! I think it's really romantic. Anyway, you are entitled to your opinion. (Even when it's wrong... *g*)

David Zub was cool. I need to ask him about some of those songs... It's not really my style of music, but very enjoyable. Really funny, too.

The last performer, LÖ, was fantastic. Completely improvised world music, with flutes, ocarina, thumb piano, and drums. His tapes cost only $5, which meant I could get them both! I'll be listening to them in the next few days. He's got a performance in Newmarket on Nov 3rd, I am definitely going to be there. (My rhythm sticks aren't rotten! They're only half rotten!)

Carol - you play accordion. There is no way you would blend into the scenery here. (But you're welcome to come up for a visit. We'll buy you lunch at Mezzaluna, ok? HINT - COME!)
