Sunday seemed just a bit better. A very attractive young Ethiopian woman danced on stage a couple of times, keeping up pretty well with the dancer. I think there were more Ethiopians in the crowd sunday and Getatchew talked for a while to them. On saturday I noticed Getatchew sitting in the lounge and I got his autograph
I saw The Ex once before when they toured with Tom Cora, at Lee's Palace. I had no idea who they were. That night was a musical epiphany for me. I've been waiting 17 years to see them again. They don't tour NA very often, so this 5 performance Canadian tour backing up Getatchew was extra special. According to their CD 30, they have played 1371 concerts from '79-2008 and only 7 in Toronto and 27 total for Canada. So it's not like we get many opportunities.
