| Thursday in the Square GBS Operetta |
| Donkey Riding followed as it always does and tonight we had, �Was you ever in Buffalo, where Great Big Sea played a show, �(anyone catch the last line?)" It was quite a sight, 10,000 people in their vertical movement. People were perched atop statuary, in building lining the Square, hanging out top-floor windows. �This is the biggest crowd we�ve had in Buffalo!� Alan grinned, �It�s nice to be back.� When I�m Up was just too much fun!! They all seemed to be having a great time and Bob was smokin� on that fiddle! That's me in the bottom left corner. |

| Shines Right Thru Me caught me again. I don�t know why I can�t get that intro in my head. I�ve been puzzled by it every single time they play it. I like the harmonies in this song and spend the time trying to get a good view of Bob. There wasn�t one to be had, unfortunately. I made sure to ask the guy in front of me if it was okay to lean over his shoulder every once in a while to grab a shot. He said it was fine with him. But there were 4 tiers of people on the steps above me that effectively blocked any chance of getting anything other than a head shot of the b�y.
Things began to get a tad silly here and thus began the GBS Operetta. Alan commented on the �fair maiden atop the column in the Square� He proceeded to say how hot she was (�a total hottie�) and introduced the band as being from �the Tropical Island of Newfoundland, Canada�s version of Hawaii. We�re east of here, you know. Come visit us in your bikinis in February.� Then he went on about hockey something and on and on about the beautiful concrete maiden atop the column. I guess he doesn�t know who is on that column � it�s Our Lady of Victory. Alan�s good Catholic upbringing would have him running to confession for lusting after the Blessed Mother! LOL! Then the Operetta opened with a little song Ode to you, Fair Maiden �This is an ode to you fair maiden of concrete, with your four guards around you. The guards look like pansies and we could take them in a minute�� �Gee, we�ve only been here a few minutes and already we�ve desecrated your monument.� Little did he know! |
