Here it is Monday, Labour Day and I can't do much labouring since my computer is kaput at home I'm in at work doing this rambling.  The weekend saw the very first Osheaga fest. taking place at Parc Jean Drapeau..it was a major success and will be back next year.  It was amazing that the weather held even while the remnants of Ernesto raged all around.  That happens quite often in Montreal...bad weather moves in but for events like the outdoor jazz fest shows and many others I've witnessed, the skies will often clear.  I wanted to see Rodd Rundgren on Sunday but was unfortunately unable to make it.  In the band were Jesse Gress, Tony Levin and Jerry Marotta.  This is pure rock and roll history. I did interview Todd live on Saturday afternoon and felt quite honored. He had numerous hits in the 70's like I Saw The Light and Hello Its Me and later worked with the band Utopia...his production credits range from Janis Joplin, The New York Dolls, Bad Finger, Cheap Trick, Rick Derringer to Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell.  This was part of a small Canadian tour...he returns to vocal duties with The New cars soon.
