I only caught a little bit of the Dragon Boat entertainment at this year’s Rotary Dragon boat Festival.
I caught most of the Hibikaya drummer’s performing and discussing traditional Japanese drumming. They even had a fully armoured Samurai overseeing the show in the sweltering, sunny heat. Little kids dance in front of the performers on a plywood floor and everybody seemed to be having a great summer night.
On Saturday afternoon, June 24, Dory and the Weathermen played their usual solid set of country, pop and classic rock hits . Some of the highlights included Carrie Underwood’s “ Two Black Cadillacs” and their revamped cover of Genesis “ I Can’t Dance” as well as a cool version of the Beatles’ “Day Tripper.”
