Jazz fest

[electricland]

Totally failed to meet up with Esther. (GUILT! GUILT! GUILT!) Did see Shtreiml, the klezmer band we'd been planning to see together. I'd probably have enjoyed it more if I hadn't been scanning the crowd for signs of Esther but there you go. The lead singer/harmonica player had his mother come out on stage to perform 2 songs! Awesome! (And the classic line from the set proved to be "All right! Lubovitcher hasidim fans! Give it up!")

Then wandered down to Ste-Catherine and heard Eleni Mandell -- not really jazz, but I thought she was terrific.

And then I went home and collapsed in a heap. But I did get lots more sleep last night than I have been lately. I even think my cold may be passing.
