It's a feeling, not just a place

Sometimes someone gets it right. Sometimes someone understands that it's the feeling of the place, not the physical or even geographical rhythms. Writer Lisa Moore got it right in this article I'm pleased to share with you here.

Musical moments No.1

Please allow me to share some musical eloquence from a trio who hails from my city. The group is The Once. The name means " I'll get to it". In Newfoundland and Labrador, if you say "da once" it means you'll get around to doing something in your own time, or maybe not at all.

This amazing group of musicians would be classed as folk artists. They sing/play traditional songs, and write in traditional fashion. There are other links to find and play their music. But this radio concert, performed in Chicago June 16, is a prime example of why they are winning respect all over the world.

When you click on the link, scroll down to Folkstage: Live in the Levin Music Performance Studio 
to get the connection to listen. I'd love to know how much you enjoyed this.

So many fine musicians in the world. It's my pleasure to share just some of those from Newfoundland and Labrador.
