2 good music events on tv this week

I taped the documentary on IFC called Tom Dowd: The Language of
Music. Very worthwhile. Lots of behind the scenes stuff, we see my ex
boss- Phil Ramone. I never met Tom but he sounds like a real nice guy
and smart. Worked on the Manhattan Project!

Also caught the Summerstage 7/16/06 show of Daby Toure. I thought it
might be good and it was excellent. He is the son of one of Toure
Kunda, one of my favorite afro-pop bands ever. Same high pitched
voice, great singing, great percussive and light acoustic gtr! Wish I
was there. Apparently it was a HOT day, about 100.

I also taped the Richard Thompson at Sierra Center Stage that I'd had
on the DVR for awhile. Excellent, although for some reason the DVR
cut off the last 15 minutes or so. I could have sworn it was ok the
first time I saw it.
