Waiting for Gardot

While Mary and David were here Jim picked up a concert schedule for the Palau de Musica in Barcelona. Thinking to make a play on the title "Waiting for Gidot" Jim said "oh, look at this...Melody Gardot...Waiting for Gardot. That's all it took....Mary knew all about her and her music, including having it on her iPod. We'd never heard of her.......serious lapse in our musical knowledge. We listened, we liked what we heard and we bought the tickets!

The concert was phenomenal!!! The space, the atmosphere, the classical guitarist lead-in act, the lighting...all of it amazing. When Melody performed you could have heard a pin drop!
She had the audience at 'hola'!
We had seats up at the top of the house, but we still had a view of Melody when she played the piano and her guitars. Her voice was haunting, sometimes so soft everyone leaned forward to hear her.

Sorry this one is fuzzy! This is the only photo that captured the lighting on the forms coming out of the walls! The hall is a work of art in itself.

Jim was able to take some brief videos of her performance so you can get an idea of her music. She and her musicians played without a break and she came back for one encore. The encore is Melody singing without accompaniment. Thank you Mary and David for expanding our horizons!
