We had a good show last Monday at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. After partying a little with the very nice members of our supporting group, Santogold, we headed back to the bus and drove all night. We were going to Montreal for a concert tomorrow, but stopped on the way in Front Royal, more precisely in Shenandoah National Park.
I didn’t sleep too well on the bus to Front Royal and spent the day resting in my room in Skyland Resort, enjoying the absence of a TV, the internet and traffic noises. I saw a deer nosing around, but it ran away when it saw me, and I was told that there were bears in the woods.
It was wonderful to be out in the country for a change!
I came across a cultural oddity while in Front Royal. At the diner in Skyland Resort we watched a spectacle I have never witnessed before. It was a group of women dancing and I shot a videoclip of it. It is entitled Mark Bell enjoying the show of the Shenandoah Valley Cloggers. I think the group is also known as the Banjo Girls, at least two of them had that name printed on their shirts.
It is great to be in Montreal. The city has good vibes. Yesterday I went out with Andrea, Númi, Ragga and a friend of hers; we ate tapas at a Spanish restaurant and then went to a Beastie Boy concert. It was interesting to be “on the other side of the fence” for a change, I sure had a good time.
