OK, so this page is about sharing emerging ideas and exciting songwriters that are friends of or could be friends of LWs. So, it has been known that I have brought many such artists to the forum that would otherwise not have made it to these pages,
David, I for one can’t discount this guy. Since I’ve joined Lu’s Forum I have learned so much about other musicians and also emptied my wallet on CD’s , live concerts etc.
Currently, one of my Top 5 ( Lucinda still dominates the pack ) is Arcade Fire.
I was surprised at David Byrne’s connection with them. And being a Canadian, I again was surprised David B. lived in Canada for a while before Baltimore. The Arcade Fire Band is more like a mini orchestra with violins, etc. , again like some of David B’s concerts.
See this article from “Daily Refill “complete with a video and photos from Irving Plaza NYC Feb./05
Later in the year Arcade Fire opened for David B. at the Hollywood Bowl.

Also David Byrne’s connection links to another active poster on this Forum-i.e. Lafayette who lists John Mellencamp as her # 1 in the Top 5.
Here we see David Byrne many years ago interviewing John M. on Sessions.

So isn’t it relevant how things on this Forum fit nicely together?
