BOW THAYER | THE DRIFTWOOD PERIODICALS VOLUME II

Organic and gentle, Bow Thayer's album was recorded on site (same as Driftwood I) in accordance with his environment. This time it happened to be a hut off the coast of Belize (and later the Dallas/Fort Worth airport), and his ukulele and guitar folk is layered with the sound of waves and birds. This Vermont musician is one to seek out for sure. bowthayer.com

MICHAEL GANDOLFI | Y2K COMPLIANT

Composed as the world n00bed out about the approaching new millennium, Michael Gandolfi's Y2K Compliant is a 20-minute piece ripe with tense strings, nervous horns and frightened woodwinds. The three movements (Short Circuits, Analog Dreams and Joyous Reverb) echo the paranoia and uncertainty that my 14-year-old self did not pay attention to, as I was too busy being 14. bmp.org

Day #1 at Tales...

By pinklady on Fri, Jul 18, 2008 7:15 pm

Began late with a perfect Pimm's Cup and breakfast at the Napoleon House. YUMMMM...If you've never had a Pimm's Cup do yourself a favor and check this cocktail out, especially if you happen to be in the quarter, near the Napoleon House. We also sampled a Roast Beef Po' Boy, since evidently the deep fried version we had the evening before just wasn't enough for us, and a Muffaletta, which comes portioned as a whole, half, and quarter sandwich. We ordered the quarter size, and it was still as big as my head.

Tales Pre-party

Before dinner MiMi, Em, and I (Pink Lady) head down to the Carousel Bar for Vieux Carres and to meet up with Hanky Panky and Barbara West. The Carousel Bar spins in the center of the room, so to chat with these seated gals, we have to march slowly around the room with them. We're doing the "Carousel Crawl." It looks impossibly silly.
