Subject: RE: Philly Folk Fest
The Tuvans were fantastic, but I have nothing to measure them by. Are they run-of-the-mill throat singers or the best Tuva has to offer?
Da Vinci's Notebook made be fall to the ground laughing again and again. As far as Full Frontal Folk goes, they have a lot of growing up to do. Their harmonies were OK, but nowhere close to Finest Kind', or even to Da Vinci's Notebook for that matter. So they used the gimmick of in-you-face sexuality, and I'm sure they had all the pubescent boys drooling. But given the choice, I would rather spend the night with Anne Downey (of FK) than with any of the Frontals, singing or whatever. Now that Jacobs-Strain kid, he's cute. Kind of makes me want to rob the cradle.
