Our Busking Year: The Week 4 Line-Up

Stampin'OurFeet
ToADifferentBeatVille

___________

Monday Morning Post-Busk Update: We missed Bob, who has one of the cleverest 'double-meaning' blog names ever, because he had to take off for work before we arrived...And we also missed Mr. Beer, Sonja, and the The Hammer because they were too busy doing middle-of-the-winter-not-so-springly cleaning (or some darniferous thing or other)...But no matter, because we will catch them all at a later time and place yet be determined.....And besides, our day was positively made by a visit from Laila, her husband M., and her two wee ones, tiniest R. and the strapping C. .....Man, that C.....He sure can wail the harpoon (see: McGee, Bobby for a reference)....Film coming, if not at 11, maybe/hopefully by mid-week....Bye for now, and as the two E's and me yelled at each other as we hopped out of the VW (not-so) Microbus and scattered in all directions for school and work this morning.....

....."ONLY SIX MORE DAYS 'TIL BUSKING!!!".....


(Pssst......Scroll on down for Week 3's video, or go here.)
____________



This Sunday (the 24th) the two E's and me will be playing a double-header for the 4th week of our Busking project.....

First, late Sunday morning (11-ish) we will be at the English Bay/Sunset Beach dog park almost under the Burrard Bridge behind the Aquatic Center in the almost Westend....And we'll be looking for Bob to stop by and provide backing vocals as one of the Pips.

Then, early Sunday afternoon (1-ish), on our way we'll stop off at the top of Queen Elizabeth Park and camp out for awhile under one of the Tai Chi Arbours near the fountain and the Conservatory keeping one eye on the lookout for Mr. Beer, Sonja and the Hammer....Geez, I just realized we better polish up a D.B.T. tune....

Until then (or if you, like the rev, just can't quite make the nut to get to Lotusland on such short notice and/or because of the long swim so that you can join us in person), here's a taste of what we were up to last week.....






OK?


_____
And just in case you want to visit it, our Youtube page for 'The Project' is.......WeThreeBuskateers...

Oh, and just in case you missed it, Mr Hansard and Ms. Irglova busked the sidewalk in front of the Radio City Music Hall last week and then went inside and turned one of Springsteen's best pre-Nebraska ballads ever into truth and beauty all over again. Truly...


_____
On a completely unrelated note......Don't know about you, but when VANOC started bleating about how they didn't want us to drive yesterday so that they could 'practice' for those days and weeks when we won't be able to drive for real because their cavalcade of shiny white Buick SUV's will be tieing up the best lanes of every single major arterial in the city 24/7, well.....It just made we want drive back and forth across town a hundred times or more for no good reason at all.

lailayuile said...

Wow.....

Ok, I just played this three times. Once for just me, once for my husband, and then once again just for me!

Brava! Brava!...After a very hard week, you all have dredged an ear to ear smile that will last for at least a week....

Watch out- I may just bring my troupe by tomorrow for some backup. We tried to come last weekend but the baby was falling asleep in the car, so we headed home for his naptime.

Littler E. is a scene stealer, and Bigger E. is going to seriously break some hearts with that voice...

Laila said...

oh, and RossK? you aren't half bad yourself...lol...

Rev.Paperboy said...

there is no "w00t!" large enough to describe how happy that video makes me - just had a music night with the kids last night with me on the guitar and son on bongos and seven-year-old messing about with our new mandolin. I spent this morning putting new machine heads on the uke too, so it should be good to go soon.
More original instrumentals by smaller E! and next time a full song by bigger E - something suitable for a Friday Uke blogging post! Julia Nunes eat your big blonde heart out!

West End Bob said...

What Laila said: Got this big 'ole grin from ear to ear!

LOVED the vid, RossK! Real - raw - quirky - animated. All the good stuff!

Gonna get all my stuff together to check you three out for a few minutes before I'm off to toil @ noon. Ain't doin' no Pip-Thing, though - "Just so you know" . . . .

RossK said...

Oh boy....

Thanks all!

Laila - would be great to see you tomorrow...but if it's tough for you all, we promise to come South of the Fraser soon.

Rev - wow - sounds like you all really have something happening there...Can't wait to hear a little of it.

Bob - we'll see you there! (and if you won't do now pippin' how about bashing the mini-cymbals a time or two?...gonna go put 'em in the bag right now!

I gotta ask: what's with the dog parks? You got bow-wow backup from l'il Ms Whack-a-doodle? ;-)

RossK said...

macadavy!

Well, sometimes you've gotta paper the crowd with cuteness....

(and folks at Dogparks tend to be pretty friendly)

RossK said...

3pm Sunday--

Apologies to any and all (especially Beer et al.) who might have come to Q&E for the afternoon show....We got a late start for the Westend (which was great!, details of meeting/busking with Laila and family to come), we lost Bigger E to the Germans, and littler e. got cold....

Sorry!
(looks like I might have to get one of those friggin' Twitter things to update folks)

.

RossK said...

Bob--

We missed you!

Hope you didn't get there early before work to find us missing in action (we were a little late arriving)....

Film at 11 (or maybe Wednesday?)

West End Bob said...

Yeah, RossK, the Four-Footed Child (who was REALLY looking forward to meeting Rosie the Whack-a-doodle) and I had to leave at 11:20. Hope it was a good performance - looking forward to the film, though.

Can we get a repeat West End performance in the near future ? ? ? ?

Laila said...

RossK- photos to come shortly.Mondays are killers for me, and yesterday C. hosted a playdate as well. I think I have a future DVD cover shot of Bigger E... so gorgeous.

RossK said...

OK!

Thanks Laila

(Mondays are the same for me)

'Twas Spam again that had something to do with the "benefit of large leisure conditions"....Oh the humanity....or should that be 'inhumanity'....

If they don't get more interesting this I'll have to go turn the filters on out of sheer boredom

Spent a few days sick and just watched the video. It is so fine. My spirits soared.
If you're in the capital, we've got a busking licence to piggyback on.
And 18 comments, all great. It is a nice break from being angry.
