Francis Cabrel's going to be at
New Orleans Jazz Fest this year!
...on a weekend I can't leave Nashville, because I'll be singing in a concert.
*headpiano*
That said, Loreena McKennitt's playing at the Ryman that same weekend. I haven't been as into her work as I used to be, but I've a lot of memories tangled with The Mask and the Mirror and wouldn't mind newer ones to go with those songs.
Not really distraught, IOW, especially considering I often don't end up even seeing the artists at such fests, what with the crowds and all. (I heard Koko Taylor and John Lee Hooker in Chicago back in '91, but could I see them? Hell, no.)
Also, the chamber concert's going to rule.
And, perhaps Cabrel will schedule some other stops in North America as long as he's over here? And if not, well, I've got other reasons to visit NOLA when I'm less squeezed. *blows kisses at Saz and Erac*
