Gearing Up For Bluesfest

The Ottawa Cisco Systems Bluesfest starts tonight. Woohoo! I've had my tickets stashed away for a few months now, it's finally time to take 'em out. For the next 10 days, there'll be more musical talent at my doorstep than I'll be able to take in. So many choices ...

Great Big Sea
Bonnie Rait
Ani DiFranco
Sam Roberts Band
Blue Rodeo
Nelly Furtado
Live
Etta James
Kentucky Headhunters
and for Disco fanatics, KC & The Sunshine Band!

These are just a few headliners. The list doesn't even include them all, nor does it include any of the great bands playing on the other three stages. Sis and I are kicking it off tonight. She'll be joining me for Great Big Sea, although there are two other supposedly great bands playing at the same time. As we say in French, on n'a que l'embarras du choix!
