Peter Elkas at Yonge and Dundas Square

Peter Elkas played a set at Yonge and Dundas Square today. It's nice to see him live. He's very smiley in person. It's contagious.

Peter Elkas - Sweet Nancy


Have I mentioned that "Sweet Nancy" is one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard? And it's about a break up? I don't think I'd be able to get upset with a guy that breaks up with me through this song. And that's saying something, isn't it?

I'll be putting up a few more videos of Peter's set, but it takes forever to upload and YouTube keeps malfunctioning. They'll be up sooner or later...

Mermaid....

I've been waiting for Yonge and Dundas Square's website to list free summer concerts but they haven't been very good at advertising. There are all sorts of speculations about different performances, but the only official listing that has been announced so far that I'm really looking forward to attending is Peter Elkas on Wednesday Sept. 23, 2008 at 12:30pm.

See his video for "Sweet Nancy" here:

Aww... Love the video, love the song. Peter Elkas, I hope that mermaid comes back for you!

But to quote the Flight of the Conchords, "Mermaid... are you the answer to a drunken sailor's lonely wish?"
