Thanks to @geneeverett it's #ninetiesfriday and today I'm going to share some memories from a concert I attended in Redmond, WA, a suburb of Seattle. The concert was a three day, world music festival put on by Peter Gabriel's WOMAD organization. The World of Music, Arts and Dance, WOMAD, is an international arts festival founded in 1980 by English rock musician Peter Gabriel, with Thomas Brooman, Bob Hooton, Mark Kidel, Stephen Pritchard, Martin Elbourne and Jonathan Arthur. I didn't know anything about WOMAD when I bought the ticket, I just wanted to see Canadian fiddle virtuoso, Ashley MacIsaac. He released an album in 1995 called, hi™️ how are you today? that I just love. Here's the opening track. https://youtu.be/HGe9PLC8SL0?si=wQqWLP2l1QYzfR-F He had a hit song from this album, a traditional tune called Sleepy Maggie, sung by Mary Jane Lamond. Here's a real barn-burner called Devil's in the Kitchen. I feel like @geneeverett might get down with this tune. https://youtu.be/KvsPPq-Hi
