RELCOLLECT Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) Just a note on a concert saturday night. La Bottine Souriante will be performing at 8pm at the Dayton Convention center. Admission $5, and includes admission to an International food festival before the concert. I've got my tickets! For CD info, check the Button Box.... edited for having the wrong date.

Jeff Stallard Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Hmmm...sounds interesting. I *am* taking the afternoon off tomorrow...hmm...Dayton is only an hour away.
RELCOLLECT Posted May 12, 2005 Author Posted May 12, 2005 Check the schedule of events at www.aworldafair.org . It's at the Dayton convention center. Apparently, this is only thursday ( I thought it was friday) the concert is Saturday night. Sorry to mislead! Let me know if you're going...the wife, her parents (Canuckians you know) and I (token American) are going togoether, and would love to meet you! PS- 12 import Beers for sale on premises!!
Helen Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 I was getting excited about this until I realized that it is this Saturday. I rarely spend the money to go to concerts, but I couldn't resist. This Saturday is (Paul ?) Taylor Dancers and one of the dances is klezmerbluegrass. How could I resist?!
Mark Evans Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Greg, sounds like fun. Word to the wise...don't let yer femme see the way ye spelled Quebecois. Me darlin' would and has given me "the look" for just such a mistake. I made it only once. You are in for a real treat. Yer feet will get a workout.
RELCOLLECT Posted May 13, 2005 Author Posted May 13, 2005 (edited) Word to the wise...don't let yer femme see the way ye spelled Quebecois. Heck, I don't spell that well in English either. That's a troublesome word for me in particular...no matter how I spell it, it still looks wrong! I've been learning a very little French; so far I can greet some one, apologize for my bad French, and asK for a pickle.....I still have some work to do. Edited May 13, 2005 by RELCOLLECT
Mark Evans Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 It will come Greg. I like that bit about the Pickle.
RELCOLLECT Posted May 13, 2005 Author Posted May 13, 2005 Bonjour ! Je fais des excuses pour mon Français misérable. Est-ce que je peux prendre des cornichon?
JimLucas Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Est-ce que je peux prendre des cornichon?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Gee, I didn't think there was anybody left who spoke Cornish.
Jeff Stallard Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Bonjour ! Je fais des excuses pour mon Français misérable. Est-ce que je peux prendre des cornichon? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No sir, my mother does NOT wear combat boots, and I'll thank you to mind your own business!
RELCOLLECT Posted May 13, 2005 Author Posted May 13, 2005 Gee, I didn't think there was anybody left who spoke Cornish No sir, my mother does NOT wear combat boots, and I'll thank you to mind your own business! Apparently, I have more work to do than I thought.... (all I wanted was a damn pickle!)
Mark Evans Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 (all I wanted was a damn pickle!) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Greg, if you wish, I can give you that phrase with the appropriate swear. It seems all oaths in Quebec have to do with the church . For the record, you are doing just fine...however, I hope you are not approximating a Parisian accent. Why a pickle?
RELCOLLECT Posted May 13, 2005 Author Posted May 13, 2005 It seems all oaths in Quebec have to do with the church Yes, my wife has inadvertantly taught me one in particular, but I couldn't spell it even were it polite to do so! I hope you are not approximating a Parisian accent. Actually, I sound (to my untrained ear) somewhere between a dockworker and Maurice Chevalier...it's pretty obvious I "ain't from around these here parts" when I'm up there. Why a pickle? Well, I like pickles for one thing...also, it's just one of those words that stick in my head easily.
JimLucas Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 No sir, my mother does NOT wear combat boots, and I'll thank you to mind your own business!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mine does, and woe betide anyone who derides her for it.
RELCOLLECT Posted May 13, 2005 Author Posted May 13, 2005 I'm heading out for the inlaws' house in Dayton in about 6 hours. Anyone want to meet up Saturday night? Literally, dinner AND a floor show! The band lineup lists no drummers, but rather a "Percussive Dancer"...should be interesting!
Helen Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 You are in for a treat. I've done percussive dance and it is a hoot. Mostly with French groups. I love it. Wish I were going. But the klezmerbluegrass dancing - just has me intrigured. Oh rats, it's raining and only the tarpaper is on the new roof. Hm. Helen
RELCOLLECT Posted May 16, 2005 Author Posted May 16, 2005 I had a wonderful time, and I LOVE percussion dancing! I've never seen someone stepdance ,sing, and play a reel on fiddle at the same time. Amazing!
