Friday Night With The Blues

Last night, I went with my friend Mark (AKA Jo's beau) to see Canadian blues-rocker Colin James at the Island Stage here in Kelowna. The weather was perfect for an outdoor concert, and it was an excellent show by one of Canada's finest guitarists and performers. I've been a big fan since he first appeared back in the late 80's.
The concert was a fun "guys night out" for Mark and I -- and I'm really appreciating the opportunity to spend time with my daughter's boyfriend -- and we also ran into musical friends Graham Ord and Norm Strauss, as well as blogging friend Len Hjalmarson and his lovely wife Betty.

Good to see that so many discerning people in Kelowna recognize the virtue of a talented Canadian blues band! If you've never heard Colin James' music before, check it out. You won't be disappointed. I would recommend his album Limelight as a good place to start.

Since nobody's commenting, I just had to plug last.fm - one of my favorite sites and try out some html skillz.
But seriously, there's some clips on there, and the similar artists radio is pretty cool too.

Thanks Toad,

Been a fan of his since "Just Came Back" in the 80's, and his "Bad Habits" album in '95. Wendy got me "Travellor" a couple of years back, and Jo gave me "Limelight" as a birthday present a couple of years ago.

Fun concert! And Jo's boyfriend is fun to hang out with.
