The main review said most of it -- there was magic in Ottawa - -- and my husband (Steve) and I were right up front for a good chunk of it during the Luxor jam. (stage Mur.) To rewind: Friday evening we had seen Jian and Vance Gilbert chatting outside the Luxor hotel while Dave was parking the Frumobile and we were leaving for Brittania Park and the first acts of the festival. So later that night, when we saw Vance hanging offstage at the Luxor while the boys were playing we kind of thought something might be brewing. Vance was quite happy to hop up onstage (singing "I get to play with Moxy Fruvous!") and fairly quickly Jian announced that they seemed to be an inseparable duo. (Someone, Mur I think, said it must be a big hair thing -- they didn't make shiny-head jokes at Dave's expense then, although they had on the mainstage earlier that night.) Jian then dubbed them the Infrared Boys -- "like the Indigo Girls -- but different." During KOS the King finished with "now I'm jamming with Vance Gilbert." I didn't think Chopper McKinnon was out of line asking people not to mosh the next day -- it was a much bigger crowd, with lots more kids, and they really wouldn't have been able to see. But I was further back and didn't hear any snotty remarks about stealing setlists either. :-) During the Personal/Political workshop, the other acts were Bob Stark (not Strand) and the Unceded Band, who were absolutely amazing but who don't, unfortunately, have a record deal yet. (I talked to their lead singer Gloria May later in the weekend; they're working on it.) One moment of interest from the workshop was a new definition of Fruvous: a suggested but rejected name for the Canadian toonie. That night Jian never showed at the Luxor partly because he was having fun hanging with Vance off the mainstage -- Ferron's performance, especially, was overwhelming that night. I suspect Murray didn't show because he needed some down time -- he looked pretty wiped out during Personal/Political. Heck, at that point I needed some down time, and I hadn't played four sets in 2 days. Anyway, there was an awful lot of good music up in Ottawa -- and a lot of it wasn't even Moxy. Steve was pleased to discover Vance Gilbert (he had missed his set at Appel Farm) and I thought the Wyrd Sisters were ... well, weird, but wonderful. We passed up the Philly Folk Fest to go north for a long weekend in our former home, and man are we glad we did!

Perhaps, but they probably wouldn't *pay* me for it... To hop back onto a Fruvous-related topic (*nod to Vika*), should I attempt to get Fruvous played on a couple of the stations that I work for? I know Fruvous says they're not a commercial radio band, but I'm thinking/hoping that they would still want to be played on a station, assuming I can convince the program directors to get some Fruvous in the playlists. One of the stations is Top 40s, and another is "best of the 80s & 90s" format.

Perhaps that would be the point -- picking something so completely off-base that you'd be encouraged to look up the correct date, thereby firmly implanting the real data in your brain. reverse educational value? :) .... i don't know, it's late, I just spent 10 hours with only one other person taping shut, labeling, and sorting almost 3,000 filers about m-pact's new CD, and I'm tired.

A (very) little net.wizardry . That being said, I think the person(s) who said that TMBG was trying to achieve something very different from Fruvous was dead on.
