hi! my name is maureen "moe" chandler! i am coming to you from charlottetown, pei! do you know where that is? if so, you get a cookie! (not really)
i'm not entirely sure how i found myself here, but here i am! i like to take pictures of music related things and listen to music, so i guess that's how all of this started? either way, here i am! to try to sound like i know lots! i hope you are fooled and think i am very knowledgeable. these cheat sheets sure help. wait. i guess i shouldn't have told you that, eh? that should have been an internal thought, eh.. anyway!
i feel really lucky to be from here! bigger cities are known for getting big name acts, but i like to think we have a really strong and amazing music community here in little charlottetown! i am going to brag now! we have back alley music! the most fantastic little record store with the friendliest people working there! this great little gem of a place made it into the CBC Radio 3: Searchlight! The Top Five Record Stores! hooray! hey they even have live music sometimes! we also have baba's lounge! with a capacity of something like 100, they made it to the final round in CBC Radio 3: SEARCHLIGHT! The Top Live Music Clubs! well deserved, too. one of the very few places i can go to on a random night, and know i will get to experience great music. on the odd night when there is no live music, the bar staff are all super nice to chat with! a lot of the music that has graced the stage of baba's over my years of attending has had a great influence on me. from eyes for telescopes, to pat deighan & the orb weavers (ooh! connection!), to baba's very own annual music festival, close to the coast!
music has always been a pretty big thing for me, even as a little kid. lots of relatives would play instruments and such things (turkey in the straw anyone?). i've even played a couple myself over the years! holy! this seems to be long! and full of exclamation marks! i should stop and get down to business, eh?
oh! a question! what music/band/artist/person, local or otherwise, got you interested in music? what inspired you and eventually brought you to be right here right now??
