Last night Husband Unit, Maternal Unit and I went off to the National Arts Centre here in Ottawa to see a live performance of The Vinyl Cafe.
The Vinyl Cafe is a bit like a Prairie Home Companion, humourous fictional stories strung together with music.
Host Stewart McLean had two new Dave and Morely stories and one old favourite last night, plus a new episode of the Eggs Blackiron show. Musical guests were Danny Michel and Allison Russell. The Husband Unit had managed to snag front row seats. In fact, we were right in front of Stewart for most of concert. We were the people he monitored to see how the concert was going.
Funny, and enjoyable. Given that many of his stories, including my fave, Wong’s Scottish Meat Pies are available on CD or for download, I think you should check them out.
