Great concert by Lake Street Dive. Unfortunately, the venue allowed an overcapacity crowd on a warm night with no air conditioning.

While it is impossible for the band to sound like any other band, the concert was a little light on the material that first brought them to my attention, the soul songs of the sixties and seventies, updated in a kind of jazz-pop fusion that allows their conservatory-honed musicianship to shine.

The new material, still hewing to that fusion sound, moves sits closer to the rock side of the pop spectrum than the soul side.

  3. RE: Friday's blog:
    As far as i can tell, nobody can help anybody else. There doesn't seem to be any help to give and no help is needed.We all have our own karma to work through.

    my response to someone who has low self- esteem is to say something along the lines of - "that is one way to look at it, still there are other ways to see it." then i shrug, and leave it at that.
