The Mary Fahl concert last night was very nice. Kate Gaffney was Mary’s opener, and she was very good as well.
I got to spend some time with some of Jen‘s nice friends and we discovered a very creative way to get from Darren‘s house to Bryn Mawr.
Interestingly, when I first listened to Mary Fahl’s album (yesterday), I went immediately to the last track on the CD. I misread The Dawning of the Day (which was apparently featured in some film) as The Dimming of the Day. The Dimming of the Day is a beautiful song by Richard Thompson that has been covered by many people. I was quite surprised when the track started playing and I didn’t hear the song I anticipated. Now that I had realized I misread the title on the CD cover, there was no reason for me to assume Mary would sing the Richard Thompson song.
I was doubly surprised at the concert when Mary opened with Richard Thompson’s The Dimming of the Day.
Actually, it was “Going Home” which was featured in “God’s and Generals”. It was played over the opening credits.
Perhaps, but The Dawning of the Day was featured in a movie called “The Guys,” and the soundtrack was available at the merchandise table.
Well…I guess I stand corrected, then. 😛
