Richard and I went to see a free outdoor show at the WFC last night. The line-up was Ollabelle, The Holmes Brothers and Nick Lowe. I guess that we got the times wrong as Nick (the headliner) was already on stage when we arrived.
It was a wonderful shock to see how much drama, impact and effect could be created by one 60 year old man with a single acoustic guitar. (and a few effects on his voice from time to time). Nick still has a strong, gorgeous unaffected voice without a hint of irony, tremendous dynamics and world class songs.
He made nothing of the fact, but hearing him sing "Peace, Love and Understanding" a stone's throw from the WTC site was sad and inspiring at the same time.
