A brotacular evening
Dancing shoes? Aging beaniks? Count me in……. I wish I was there………
2 years agoWell, last night truly lived up to expectations. Immersed in a throng of aging beatniks and bluesmen and women, the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival went down like a cold beer on a hot christmas morning. Meaning it was delicous. Reasons for greatness include:
1) Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings - once again OWNED the stage.
2) Smokey Robinson - played tracks of my tears, i’ve got sunshine, build me up buttercup. All the hits you know.
3) Deer lake park - pretty amazing venue, kind of like the Molson Amphitheatre.
4) Free Admission
5) Being driven in through the gates in a golf cart (see #4)
6) It was a reasonable temperature
7) Jb remembered to bring his dancin shoes
Overall very good show. Only downside was Smokey turning the last half of his act into supreme adult comtemporary CHFI lovefest. Kinda cheesy, but points for being 75yrs old and still making the ladies swoon.
