So, I have this hunch I am really gonna have a hard time finding someone unique every day while I am home in the south. I just don't think I know "THAT MANY" people around Yarmouth any more. I took some very cute pictures of my nephews today, however, when I went at 10 pm to watch Garrett Mason in concert, I decided I should save my nephews for another day, when maybe I am a little bit more stuck for someone to put on my blog. One of those days when I don't see anyone or maybe don't feel like seeing anyone except for them.
Garrett Mason is a blues musician, son of the great Nova Scotian Blues man, Dutch Mason. He was down in Yarmouth before, loves it here, and I saw him during Nova Scotia Music Week last November at the volunteer appreciation evening. He is classy, stylish, smooth, witty and incredibly talented. It was my first time ever entering the infamous "Red Knight", which has a very unique and rather troubled reputation, but the music was why I went and the music is why I stayed. The glass that flew through the air and broke a couple feet away from my chair didn't deter me. The weird old men and toothless women who stared from one eye while sipping odd drinks, didn't scare me off. The extremely young, rather prostitute looking women that bopped their heads from side to side while sitting on different guys laps all over the bar, didn't gross me out enough to leave. Garrett's music was much better than that.
Hope you can enjoy the pictures, I snapped them really quickly since I wasn't sure I was allowed to do it, at the beginning of his second set. I avoided using the flash so I might not get caught, allowing the focus to be quite soft and the dancing quite fluid. Try to picture the scene, the music, the atmosphere. Enjoy!
Theme song for today: Old Days by Garrett Mason
