Volga Boatman

I enjoyed a visit to Toronto last weekend, and I'm about to shut my eyes to end yet another great weekend before the busy week ahead. Met up with some good friends Saturday night to visit while we watched some amazing acoustic guitar while Natalia Connor danced some Flamenco. After the performance, the bar TVs came back on playing some random 'live' concert. We didn’t really pay attention at first but near the end it caught our attention. It was some wild and crazy stuff, and defiantly not your average pop-mart tour. It was a taping of a stadium show in Helsinki where the Leningrad Cowboys were singing American songs backed up by a huge Russian Army choir. The best song? Definitely their rendition of Sweet Home Alabama mixed in with the Volga Boatman chorus. Almost makes it worth investing in the DVD.

Had the Boatman in my head for a while this afternoon after a refreshing 11km canoe ride down the high spring waters of the torrent hoasic river.

Leningrad Cowboys!?!
Man, they must be about 90 by now. I remember seeing 'Leningrad Cowboys Go America' on one of the coldest nights I can remember during high school - at least I think it was during high school... either way, it was cold and it was a long time ago. And the movie was bad.

Hope all's well
