Great Big Sea - SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

Well, I am home now listening to Great Big Sea... furthering my education on Maritime music culture! Wow! Very local. The picture above was taken at the Nanaimo Ferry Terminal... but I haven't been to the Atlantic for awhile, so the Pacific will have to do. I can feel the salt water around my ankles as I listen to this. The sounds of Great Big Sea are sounds of skipping stones, but also of running through fields of Goldenrod, maybe throw in some thistles and a few dragonflies... there might also be a twilight whiskey party thrown in for good measure - simple, optimistic, and slightly colonial (can I say that?) Imagine acoustic guitars and concertinas... Together!
