Paris 16-Mar-07

An an American in Paris comments on show:
Moondance started things off. van looking bored, muttered his way through a perfunctory rendering. why even bother? at least he got it out of the way early. at first, the show was a discordant abomination, the andrews sisters a little loud in the mix. somewhere in there was a song about crying in your beer. the sisters offered oooh and aaah non-stop. later a happy banjo during bright side of the road perked things up. van remembered that it was st. patty's day eve. by the end the audience was satisfied. the band never missed a hand signal and van said he "enjoyed this gig very much". for me, "when the leaves come falling down" made it all worthwhile.
