We don’t often, if not at all, think about how blessed we are to be able to enjoy music.

“It is like writing music in a way. The tune isn’t done by me, the tune is what people write. I do the sound.”

AnDa Union

While looking for clips for today’s other Non-Guitar Dosage, I found a video of this 10-member Mongolian group called AnDa Union. The following clip, an ISPA (International Society of Performing Arts) pitch, will pretty much tell their story. Wait for the ‘Galloping Horses’ performance at 5:49 mark.

Lucky North Americans get to see them live next month!

Today’s Non-Guitar Dosage is a flashback to the brilliant film “Genghis Blues” an absolute must-see.

Loved this short! The story of Pat Sponheim aka Piano Pat.

Piano Pat is one of those living legends. She’s been playing the same venue, the Sip ‘N Dip Lounge, in Great Falls, Montana since 1963. She’s one of those characters you don’t see everyday.

Music Docs at Hot Docs Festival 2011

Learned of the Hot Docs Festival in Toronto yesterday and I admit to my ignorance re: festivals. Today’s Non-Guitar Dosage will be a select few trailers showing at the festival in the Music category. Not possible to post about all of them – there are so many!! – so I’ll randomly (define ‘random’) post a bunch. You’ll find details on these films here.
