Last Sunday VCAFE hosted the Strauss Ord band featuring Graham Ord, Norm Strauss, bass player Dave Moore and drummer Jordan Strauss at a special VCAFE which focused a little more on gospel blues & inspirational/worship music. There was a heap of talent on the VCAFE stage that night, that is for sure as the band wound their way through a selection of gospel blues covers and originals. The foursome had spent some time in Germany and UK this past summer so this was a chance for them to reunite and bring their chops to the Okanagan where they all live but where no one, except the Streaming Cafe audience a few weeks ago had had a chance to see them. Needless to say, the response was hugely positive. Yes, it was a little louder than a regular VCAFE, but it's not like that happens every time, eh?
December's VCAFE takes place this week on Saturday and hopefully we'll continue the trend of good turnouts as we watch long time performer Betty Anne Northup who has been gracing stages for more than 35 years.
Oh yes - a big thank you to our official VCAFE photographer Kevin Kienlein who's starting to gather a great bunch of pictures - some of which we'll start to post
It's always a sad day when influential people pass away, so I tip my hat to Derek Hughes, a former principal in the UK, who was influential in my life and career who left us on Wednesday. Thank You, Derek.
