One More Post... Steven Page and Danny Michel... One More Memorable Moment for the Folk Fest

I think everyone here who stayed for the final main stage performance at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival may have just witnessed one of the most amazing moments in folk fest history.

Steven Page, the headliner for Sunday nights performances brought out another Canadian musician, Danny Michel in the middle of his set. He said it was to pay tribute for the musicians that we have lost this year. Danny Michel started playing guitar and they began playing a great rendition of Michael Jackson's Billy Jean. The performance got the whole crowd cheering and singing along.

All three of them (Danny Michel, Steven Page and the cellist, sorry, I don't know his name...) performing on the main stage during the last performance (well except for Four Strong Winds of course) of the 2009 Edmonton Folk Music Festival.

As for the rest of Steven Page's performance tonight, it has been absolutely amazing! He is playing at the folk fest with a cellist that is touring with him, and between the two of them the music that they produce is awesome! He has been playing some Barenaked Ladies songs, but also some originals as well.

OK, now this is my last post. Stay tuned for more updates, this time about my road trip to Quebec.

So to all the folk festers, I'll see you next year!

Well, how could things not be better with a little bit of Danny Michel? :-)
