Now I understand why she sings that way. It's just how she thinks and talks. She was part of a 5 song jam session at the Calgary Folk Fest. Each group would lead a song. So far the single best moment of the festival was MMOH leading the collective in something called "The Snake". Just breathtaking. Cross Patti Smith, Diamanda Galas, Iva Bittova and a barnyard full of animals and that about sums it up. The entire ensemble was Gordon Grdina's Haram (8 or 9 people in an Arabic/jazz collaboration that included oud, ney, frame drums and more), MMOH, Peggy Lee & Beautiful Tool (her new ensemble - Peggy Lee is on cello), Sarah Neufeld (the fiddle player for Arcade Fire) and Sandro Perri (an interesting singer on his own). On the second go round, she led on "When You Know Why You're Happy". The ensemble didn't join her on that one. Everyone just sat and watched. Hard to pick a funniest moment, as every time she opened her mouth she said something nutty. "This is the No Safety Net session. I'm drinking my own urine." (Could be. Or maybe apple juice.) "For this song I'd like everyone to wriggle on the ground on your bellies" "I might have trouble remembering the words and have to repeat a few lines" (Which is particularly funny to anyone who knows her music.) Really looking forward to her full set tomorrow. Followed by My Brightest Diamond and Sharon van Etten for the ectoest run of the fest. And on Sunday another session, where the group includes World Party, Garland Jeffreys and Grant Lee Phillips. neal ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #840 ***************************
