This picture is so strange that I just had to go with it. (If you could pull back then you would see these are part of a very cool stage of hearts)
"The Circle Dance" is Voodoo Shilton's newest song and he wrote it yesterday, as in yesterday before the show at Cat's Art MusikCircus. That would impress you more if you had heard it as this is yet another extraordinary original. The song is different in that there's a riff Voodoo uses and he jumps back and forth to start it on different roots so this change is always keeping you interested. There is great coolness in the vibe as it felt bright and live ... but we'll never hear it again, at least not as it was last night. Voodoo is developing it so you can be sure it will be different when he next plays it. That's how Voodoo does and it's why it's a very good idea to buy his performances. They don't cost much and they're all different.
The other part of the show last night that particularly needs mention was his electric guitar playing. A big part of Voodoo's play is extraordinary precision as he never hits the wrong note and he never hits anything he didn't intend so there's no spurious sound. His lead lines are fast but most of all they're coherent and you can follow every note as he goes. Even if you only hear the two songs I've mentioned here, Voodoo's show would be a treat ... and then he plays for another hour. I'll find out if there's any way you can hear a recording and will report back later.
It was a spectacle! Cat and I are dancing on the far left in the middle of the picture.
