Another find from CBC2, while driving to work. We have her first album, titled simply 19, and were very impressed with her voice and maturity. The album title is her age. Her new album, where this tune is from, is titled 21, and is again very very rich in vocal talent. And, as seems to be our recent direction, another British talent. Enjoy, if you have heard it before, you know what I mean. If you haven’t, you are in for a treat. Turn it up.

Bookers BBQ Grill & Crab Shack – Calgary
Lori and I went for dinner tonight at Bookers BBQ Grill & Crab Shack here in Calgary with some friends, Bill and Betts. We had never eaten here before but had heard lots of good things, and Bill recommended as they had live music on Friday and Saturdays. On their website they were advertising duelling pianos, which is fun.
I had the catfish creole, very good. Food is a step up from pub fare, yet not quite fine dining. Atmosphere is great as was the service. We finished up and the band came on. Imagine our surprise when it was not duelling pianos, but renowned blues artist Sonny Rhodes. Even better, we are in the front row. He was playing an unadvertised evening at Bookers. Absolutely incredible, and unbelievable luck.

Phoebe Snow – We Lose Another Great One
This lady could sing. Looks like I be putting down another 10 bucks on Itunes today.
Listening to Eliza Doolittle
Driving to work one morning with CBC Radio 2 on and suddenly this song hits. I am wondering what the hell is this, not to mention who the hell is this. Pulled out my phone, clicked into Shazam to find out and tag it, almost hitting 2 buses, 3 old ladies and a motorcycle (it was January so what a bike was doing on Glenmore, i have no idea). Long story short, it was Eliza Doolittle. Very catchy and different. Downloaded the whole album and have not regretted it at all. She adds a different vibe to my Iphone.
