Yesterday Mads and I went to Roskilde bright and early - well, bright and early for a saturday - to go see folk music and our old friend Eigil. Neither part dissapointed.
ROD gave a very, very nice koncert on the walking-street and after that several spontaneous jam-sessions sprung up all over town. This led me to wish two things: 1) Copenhagen should have a folk club, like Mojo but for fiddles and bothrans and mandolins and accordions and all that and 2) Every day should be filled with live music from morning till night.
These seem to me to be simple wishes.
Mads left somewhat early, leaving me to hang around Eigil and his friends from ROD. Great people all but I am always especially pleased to meet a fellow by the name of Christian, we seem to be developing one of those friendships that require but once a year contact.
In the evening I saw a few more concerts with one standing out in particular by a band called Trio Mio. They were fantastic, truly. I purchased one of their cds and find it enjoyable to be sure, but sadly unable to capture fully the energy of the trio.
I left at about half past ten in the evening, a mite early perhaps but I had a journey ahead of me that I did not want to postpone too far into the night. I hit Copenhagen right as the Tivoli fireworks were going on, right as the city was at its busiest and I basked in the glow of being back.
Yeah, I'm back.

Welcome.
Also I found myself speculating... Is´nt it interesting the way days full of live music, can mean something completely different from one person to the other? Mine are, actually, kind of. Self-produced some of it, and sometimes completely unwanted (and rather horrid) from the outside. Well, maybe not, FULL of. But some live music is in every day, and I agree: Thats how it should be. In all its diversity.
