June 17/07 Show #57 A Great Weekend To Be Canadian


Just finished a fantastic weekend filled with Canadian music here in Austin. Friday, I went to see Bob Wiseman with The Phonemes ( his wife Magali's band), then Saturday, the shear joy of Great Lake Swimmers filled my ears, and Sunday after the program, I headed off to see The Stills. Yup....yup. Rawk On.
