Last night a somewhat famous Canadian singer was in town for a concert. Kerry had bought four tickets as soon as they were available with two going to her friend Loraine from work. Although I enjoy his music I'm not a huge fan so the plan was for Kerry to find someone equally excited to go. (A difficult task considering she's got all his albums and has seen him in concert four times.) In the end all her options fell through so I ended up going. It was a great concert. What I liked about it was that it was simple. Just five guys on stage with the big screen behind. Bryan rocked it out for 2 1/2 hours with no breaks.
I recognized all the songs which is always more enjoyable though there was at least one that probably hasn't appeared on any albums. The drummer takes centre stage with nothing but five gallon pails and some pots and pans. When you've got talent there's no need for fancy instruments. The encore was a bit unusual. Rather than leaving the stage and coming back, Bryan thanked his crew and sent them back stage. He then did three acoustical versions of his songs which just him, his guitar and his harmonica. He even brought his mom on stage. His comment was "If you can't give your mom the best seat in the house than what good are you?"
