["Tabassum Siddiqui" Subject: OAC: Cicero last night - A Lecture... So... Que pasa, people?! On the heels of Julian's no-shows at C'est What (for Tammy RayBould) post, here's another. Roberto and I were the *only* ones there last night at the Cicero (amazing local singer-songwriter, friend of Emm Gryner's, on her Dead Daisy label, for those of you who don't know) gig aside from his friends. We kept waiting for someone, *anyone* we knew to show up, but to no avail. Not good, people! You missed a good show - as scheduled opener Rayanne was sick (feel better!), one of Dylan's friends, who only gave his name as "Jonathan", played a solid set that sounded to me like a cross between Jeff Buckley, Duncan Sheik, and Dylan himself (very similar-type delivery). Pretty good - I was impressed. Then Dylan (I feel silly referring to him as "Cicero" ;-)) started with a fabulous "The Price of Eagle Hats and Spacesuits", followed by a nice take on local peers Red Autumn Fall's "Heaven Too". Then he was joined by his friend Bev (some of you may remember her from the first Northern Sounds gig at the Free Times last year) on vocals for a few songs. She's got a lovely, keening, old-school country-type of voice, and sounds absolutely amazing with Dylan. I barely even missed Emm on "The Wind and the Rain". ;-) Well, okay, I *did* (in fact, it seemed weird that she wasn't there - but seeing as she's hobnobbing with the likes of Mr. Ziggy Stardust himself, I guess I can cut her some slack. As for the rest of you... ;-P), but whatever. ;-) So anyhow, this little lecture is being crossposted to get more people out to the rest of Cicero's residency gigs - there isn't one next week, it being Thanskgiving and all, but he'll be there for the other two Monday nights following. So... come, dammit! He's great, and he certainly deserves more support than last night's sorry turnout. Besides, everyone at C'est What is nice, and I think the bar staff were crying in their beer over the practically empty room... ;-) We now return you to your regularly scheduled list chatter... ;-) - - Tab :) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of canadian-music-digest V2 #153 ************************************
