For Valentine's Day Dave bought us tickets to see a performance of 'Lady Day', a selection of the songs of Billie Holiday... the show was Saturday night at the Glenn Gould Studio about a week ago. I thought Ashley Rose, the young lead singer, started out a bit nervous and I worried that it wouldn't turn out well, but as the evening moved along she seemed to feel the audience warming up to her and when she let herself really get into the music, her own passion came through loud and clear. Tough to come out dressed like and singing songs by one of the most iconic singers of the jazz era, but she did a great job - the band was amazing too - I hope Billie would have been proud.
It was really nice to go out to something other than a hockey game for a change too. Thanks honey!
