This report is very late from last week ... or just in time for the shows tonight at Cat's Art MusikCircus.
1:00 PM PST / SLT - Untolerable Bohemian
Last week Untolerable Bohemian was focusing yet more on his electric work. There are mechanical aspects to that like pushing buttons and how long does it take to set up each song but the important thing is that he's doing it. I have a strong bias toward improvisation but it's not like I hide that feeling and I really hope Bo keeps on doing more of it.
Bo is very much like two performers as Electric Bo does songs quite different from Singing Bo. Come to find out what he does tonight.
2:00 PM PST / SLT - lefty Unplugged
The biggest news lately has been when Lefty brought out his Fender Telecaster to play as the sound is a delight. Going back and forth from acoustic to electric is quite difficult unless you do like Mark Knopfler and fingerpick everything. There are many arty reasons for making a decision like that and you could fill a book with them so we'll stop right there.
Lefty seems to be working on polishing and crafting his songs more than coming out with new ones just now. He makes exceptionally well-crafted songs and he's one of the best for the dynamics of a song. The dynamics are much more than whether a song is loud or soft and this seems to be getting a lot of attention from him lately. It's tough to spot as these kinds of changes are often so subtle that you feel them more than hear them.
