I work concert security as a side to my 'normal' job, and I worked
this show. I was bumming at the thought of having to 'bear' through my
fifth Barenaked Ladies show in about 18 months. For some reason
they love this Canadian(Canadien) band here in Cleveland. When the 
oppenner appeared I was actually glad to be on the floor, as this young
lady once did Kate's music proud. She accompanied Peter
Gabriel on his last solo tour, and was the Kate during "Don't Give Up"
part of Peter's set. I saw Mr. Sowd at the show, and I should have
told him that, of course, he should have known that right?
