Marta Pacek: "Back to the Middle" and "These Days"

By Michael J.W. Stickings

You'll have to excuse the paucity of posts this weekend. It's a long weekend up here in Canada -- with our Thanksgiving on Monday -- and with Richard away at his cottage and me enjoying some quiet time with the family, we haven't had much time, or inclination, to blog. A few things, but not much. Which is fine, after such a busy week, and, really, we needed the break. It's a pretty crazy time, is it not? And getting up so many posts day after day takes a lot out of you.

Anyway, go back and check out what we did do, if you missed it. We'll get back to it in earnest on Monday.

In the meantime, here's some music for you...

...from the Polish-born, Australian-raised, New York-based, Canada-connected singer-songwriter Marta Pacek, performing "Back to the Middle" (from her album Rebel Baby) at Toronto's The Rivoli on October 14, 2011...


...as well as a lovely version of "These Days" (also from Rebel Baby) at Buffstock 2012 in New Jersey this past August.
