Incidentally, in all the B*atles hoopla recently, I was reminded again of McCartney's feeling, having written "Yesterday," that he wasn't sure it was really his song - in other words, that he'd unconsciously borrowed from another source. (A karmic debt which, apparently, he passed on to George...) It took years, and a musicologist, to figure out that Paul was more or less correct: the song he was likely thinking of was Ray Charles' "Georgia on My Mind."

Very odd show. Not a bad show. Just an odd one. 1) Museum of Sex 2) Elvis Presley Blues (Welch/Rawlings) 3) I Often Dream of Trains 4) I'm Falling 5) Full Moon in My Soul Joined by Rayna Gellert on fiddle and backing vox, and Abigail Washburn on banjo and vox. I didn't know either one of them, but some Googling makes me think that somehow John Paul Jones producing a group both women were in (Uncle Earl) is the connection to Robyn. 6) Tomorrow Never Knows (Lennon/McCartney) 7) Thank You Timegirl (?) 8) Lowe Bonnie (just Googled it from the lyrics I scribbled down - maybe "trad."?) 9) Ole Tarantula 10) ?? Something that Abagail sang 11) Birds in Perspex (!!!) 12) Log Cabin in the Sky (? Trad.? Can only find Incredible String Band performance through cursory Googling) 13) Balloon Man ========== quick encore break, just Robyn again: 14) Crystal Ship (Doors) 15) River Man (Drake) rejoined by Rayna and Abigail: 16) Ye Sleeping Knights of Jesus just Robyn again: 17) The End (Doors) I think a good time was had by all - at least by myself, Jeme, and his friend Rachel - but... as previously mentioned, not at all what I expected. Not quite Jug Band Christmas with a bunch of SPOOKED plus seventeen BASEMENT TAPES covers, not like his solo shows here in the '90s, no Venus 3 or GilNDave. Instead, the bulk of the show was covers and/or played very traditionally, much more pure folk/bluegrass than even his worth with Deni or Welch/Rawlings. Highlights for me were "Birds in Perspex," which I hadn't heard live in a while, and "Ye Sleeping Knights of Jesus," which I'd never seen Robyn play before. Also, I had a great time with birthday boy Jeme and Rachel, whether it was touring the city, stopping off at Grimey's (where I kind of inadvertently won an autographed Flight of the Conchords poster), dinner, or the show itself.

Must be Canadian smoke detectors that do that.
