-Stevie Wonder is one of my favourite musicians of all time, whenever I catch one of his songs on the radio, I instantly smile, turn it up, and sing along.
Play this video, and just try not to sing it out
Music has so much power and I am so pleased to be a very small part of the Edmonton scene especially when I see it rally around my friend Kirby. With the simple yet charged rally cry: Be Here Now!, Edmonton was and is there for her.
I was at her benefit on Tuesday, and thoroughly enjoyed myself (even if I wasn't the highest bid on the ukulele I wanted) and was in awe of the outpouring of support and love. Plus I got to see Scotty Hills and Jr. Gone Wild, so of course it was awesome.
I haven't known Kirby for a very long time, but she's one of those people who after spending a day with her, I feel I known her my whole life. She has a generous spirit and has a great "take no shit" attitude.
If you know Kirby, and still want to donate. There is an IndieGoGo account for her.
I am going to fore go reviews this week, but will say that the new Owen Pallett, Seun Kuti & Egypt 80, First Aid Kit, Mary Gauthier, and Willie Nelson's new music is great and worth looking for and buying........in a music store of course.
