I was so wrapped up in getting things ready for next week (storing up music on the iPod and printing one or two T-shirts) that I wasn't aware of today's major world event until talking with fellow dog-walkers on our daily perambulation along the rain and windswept coastal meadows. The earthquake and subsequent tsunami, with their devastating impact upon Japan put my intended journey next week into perspective.
I was intending in this posting to tell you about the singers and musicians taking part in the Festival of North American Music, but a combination of watching TV news broadcasts and BBC Channel 4's blues night has restricted time available for blogging. In fact I am undertaking a little of what we males are supposed to be incapable of - multitasking. As I write this I am watching Taj Mahal singing Hoochi Coochi Coo! Well, they can't touch you for it!
So, here's a bit of homework, if you are interested. Follow this link to find a description of those appearing (in French), but then Youtube videos of them all. Sadly, Zachary Richard, from Louisiana, has had to cancel his appearance, since his recovery from a serious illness suffered late last year has not been as speedy as he would have wished.

More tomorrow. It's Ruby Turner singing St.Louis Blues at the moment.
