next monday at the hideout
Come enjoy a mixed-sex duo, Nora O'Connor and me. You know Nora from her performances and recordings with Neko Case, Andrew Bird, The New Pornographers -- I mean, if either of us knows her from that, you do; I only know her as the good-looking mom who lives down the street and sings great. For a long time she only seemed to sing great. Now, after having been invited to sing on Mavis Staples's new record, she is known to. Maybe that's how Nora comes to be so full of herself. The day Mavis asks me to sing on a record is the day I cease all communications with you earth people. Anyway, Nora's and my Monday show is billed as "original and folk songs," which I believe to be accurate. At past shows we've done three songs from her fine solo record (Til The Dawn) and I hope we can do a few more on Monday. Maybe a Michael Jackson song, probably not. A fiddle tune or two for sure. 7PM is when it starts.
I should also mention that a play called "Distracted" opens tonight at Chicago's ATC theater, on Lincoln Avenue south of Irving. No one connected with this site starring in the show, but someone connected with my corporate tax return and chromosome perpetuation might be.

There are few more inspiring phrases than "the good-looking mom who lives down the street."
Unsolicited bit of marketing advice, Robbie; put the actual date of the show in your header instead of just "next Monday". Adds an exrra layer of idiot-proofing which will get thicker and thicker as the shows (and their dates) accumulate.
Advice for the rest of you. If you don't have "Til the Dawn", get it.
Loved Distracted and highly recommend it!! Donna is superbery
