    One crazy thing that happened was a bunny hopped by me in the field, came out from near the stage and hopped towards the back. This was right when charlie was telling a story about a guy named blue steel, who could turn into a rabbit when he needed to get away. There is no way charlie saw that bunny and the timing was so weird. It was like blue steel appeared!

    are we sure there was a rabbit though?  :P

     

  2. I learned today that I needed to request a pass for the NAC Theatre performances way earlier than I had thought.   I asked today about the show and was told that they'd see what they could do. It would be a popular show and entry would be unlikely.  An hour later I had an email with an e-ticket from the super kind media rep.  I was let in just before gold pass holders, to my surprise, and grabbed an aisle seat in the front row.  Photographers were instructed that we had 20 minutes (1 song lol) to get what we needed and to take our seats.   The caveat was once that we parked for photos, we couldn't move.  I noticed from the seat that I would have a very tight frame to shoot with so I moved over to the far left aisle (centre aisles were banned) and sat on a stair.  I had one angle, but was able to get a good sense of the stage, albeit with little composition options.

    I'd only heard of Kamasi the last month or so as people continually mentioned him as a show to catch.   I spaced until today, but was glad I asked and showed up with a camera.  After about 15 minutes from the opening blasts, I sat down with my seat neighbours and had many mind-blowing moments as he cycled through the musicians and gave them some time to show off their own compositions.   Kamasi is a great MC for a show. Lots of personal stories, punched up with humour, connecting him with everyone in the band, including his father who joined them for about 1/2 the set on flute and soprano sax (or a form of clarinet?).

    I think that was Josh Zubot on fiddle throughout the set.

    The bluegrass band is called "Notre Dame de Grass" and I'm sure there are a few more bad autocorrects and errors in my setlist.

    Was informed that there was no cumberland. That slot was New Speedway Boogie.  I did have a clip of NSB so there was some evidence.  I could have sworn I heard some cumberland too thinking back.
