Lila Downs

Lila Downs had a concert a couple weeks

ago at the The Royal Conservatory here in

Toronto. She and her musicians gave an

amazing performance - the acoustics were

fantastic in the hall. My video clips do not

do her justice but they give an idea. I had

seen her before at Harbourfront Centre a

few years ago and her performance was

just as good.

I walked through Brookfield Place a couple weeks ago and found an installation of Migrating Landscapes.

On a personal note, I loved the smell of the fresh-cut wood. When I was a child, my father worked in a furniture factory which had sawdust everywhere.
