LOWDOWN TRACKS

I still have the FALL look on here as we have not had snow yet.  As a matter of fact, as we were preparing the outside for winter, we were out in T-shirts as it has been a long Native American Summer here in Ontario.  Last night I was clicking thru the TV looking for something to watch and TVO had a wonderful documentary.  I hope you will take the 1.5 hrs to watch it.  Here is the link

Inspired by depression-era folk songs, filmmaker Shelley Saywell and singer and activist Lorraine Segato set out to document the music and stories of those who live on the margins of society and bare their souls through their songs on the streets of Toronto. It's a journey that takes us along abandoned tracks, beneath bridges, inside shelters, rooming houses and alleyways, and celebrates the music and survival of those who live on the outside.
