Our good friend and soon to be ex-Frenchman Bruno Green came to visit Friday, for a set of great songs amidst the usual Session Americana excursions and digressions down the dirt roads of strange song requests.( I just remebered that Dinty actually sang Mrs. Murphy's Chowder on Thurs. talk about odd requests). Bruno is unbelievable with his songs about love, death and possums shot and skinned. What could be more American than that. Bruno comes to us thanks to Hi-n -Dry and Bill Conway who introduced him to us one night at Toad a couple of years ago. Two weekends of recording, and then two years later he shows up with a trilogy CD (One of which is with us) and a documentary film about Hi-n-Dry. I mean serious this guy.

On Saturday night we had the privledge to co-host a showing of that film at the Hi- n Dry loft. Thanks to all that answered and attended the showing. We loved the film, but of course
we were featured. The film really captured a slice of Boston's music community. Dana and Bill aren't a bad place to start, but a lot of credit goes to Bruno for spotlighting some folks who understand what 'community' is and are doing their best to support it...Afterwards Bruno led us through a set of his songs. At times the French and Americans do not agree on what key is best for a song but there is no controversy over Hi-n-Dry, it is always a joy . A little later Kris Delmhorst sang us a song by Peter Case and we soon called it a night. Whew.
