Notes from a Concert Go-er
Jan. 16th, 2003 09:45 amHugh got to see Barry in DC. Here's some of what he had to say, the lucky dawg!
"He did all of the songs from HBOS except for "Contract Song" and "Awake Too Long", plus 6 or 7 new ones. As a lovely surprise, he did "Rossmore Road"... as his
encore. One keyboard, plus a box for playing background tracks for the new songs."
"The new stuff was all grand, and covered a wide range... the standout favorite for me was the sublimely eerie and gorgeous "Waterbaby", which apparently was *brand* new..."
"The audience was enthusiastic and I think he was encouraged and enthused himself by this..."
"He hung out and chatted for a good bit after, sold a bunch of CDs... some people were telling him to try a cheesesteak in Philly, but he seemed kind of dubious about the concept."
Barry plays Philly tonight, then he's off to New York where, hopefully, some label folks will be there to see how very groovy he is!
I so hope all this works out for him.

Weight Survey
Jan. 16th, 2003 10:45 amI found this in a journal kept by a Gastric Bypass patient. Since I'm a total survey nut, I found it appropriate to fill it out. It's pretty darned depressing so read at your own risk, those of you who come across it.

Boogie Shoes
Jan. 16th, 2003 11:11 pmWhat a groovy night!
There was finally something on TV worth watching (or listening to) other than my normal dose of Sci-Fi. ABC featured 'THE DISCO BALL' tonight, bringing back artists like Gloria Gaynor, KC & the Sunshine Band, and the Trammps to do their classic tunes.
I haven't shaken my booty this much in a long long time.
Favourite bit was Martha Wash and Whoopi Goldberg doing 'It's Raining Men'. Of course, I had to boogie on down to KC, too. And Gloria Gaynor...what more need I say? GLORIA GAYNOR!!
I was too young to get to go to the Discos, but I was old enough to catch the vibe of that era and enjoy the music. I'm now just totally awash in Deep Nostalgia.
Tomorrow I think I'll go hunting for a Meco Menardo collection and a Greatest Hits album by Heatwave (only the best damned Funk line-up, other than Parliament Funkadelic, ever to grace vinyl!). I'm in dire need of some Star Wars Disco and 'Grooveline'.
This jive turkey is boogie-ing to bed now.
