With Caro last night I attended a Bill Frisell concert as part of the Canadian Tulip Festival; she had led me to believe that it was going to be a squeek-bonk Victoriaville sort of night, and I think was a bit disappointed at how ambient the whole thing was. Also performing were Chris Brown and Kate Fenner, late of The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir. I remember seeing the Bourbons in Guelph many years ago.

The Tulip Festival seems to be a wonderful excuse to have a variety of musicians play at Major Hill Park, a lovely spot: The festival stage faces away from Parliment Hill, which stands across from the canal, and the National Gallery is off to the right.
