| 9:18 am | Goli and the little dancers Yesterday, Goli went busking at Quincy Market in the late afternoon... Girl in a dress pulled her mom in to spin circles with her during this tune, then started developing her own dance for Four Chord Rock Song: As Goli played Imaginary Friends, another child began dancing towards them from the other direction, and after a few minutes the two little dancers were in the same frame about halfway through the song. Goli gradually attracted several more children to form a colorful improv dace troupe, then recruited some of them to sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" with the band. Parents had trouble collecting their kids, who really wanted to stay and dance some more to ( Gypsy RoadCollapse )Girl in a dress got an extension, so she got to stay for Let the Bottle Circulate and a cover of Paul McCartney's Calico Skies. After one more song it was time for Valerie to pack up and go. [ Here's one link to this whole set of videos, which covers only about 1/3 of Goli's time at Quincy Market yesterday. ] |

| 5:05 pm | Flightless Buttress Flightless Buttress, a cello+guitar duo I'd never seen before, opened for Goli and "The And Company" last night at Yes.Oui.Si, an art gallery by MassArt. Instrumental cello & guitar duo. Compelling, particularly if you go for the Punch Brothers / Turtle Island / Bee Eaters / Darol Anger / Mike Marshall / Bela Fleck / Edgar Meyer / etc. style of acoustic music that has no good genre name yet IMO. |

Along the river all the way to the next bridge, crossing over to Crescent Street and ending at the lot behind the Waltham Watch Factory. Good coraline and nacht_musik footage around 3:56-4:08, and again 6:05-6:20.Best view of the band from in front, with banner, around 5:30-5:50. Taiko drum sticks interlude around 6:35-6:45.
