Ich muss zugeben, dass ich diese Fotos auch für „breaking news“ halte, auch wenn es nur um die Bart-Frage geht. Aber er sieht wirklich gut aus, der Meister! Meine Güte, ich könnte kaum begeisterter sein, wenn ich schwul wäre.;-)
Ich möchte noch die Konzert-Besprechung hinzufügen, weil sie m.E. sehr gut einen mustergültigen Erstkontakt mit Howe´s Bühnenkunst dokumentiert:

Giant Sand
Cabaret du Musee Juste Pour Rire, Pop Montreal 2006 – Montreal, QC
October 7, 2006And yet somehow, with as good a show as Under Byen put on, a very strong case could be made for Giant Sand stealing the show back. I’d never heard any of Howe Gelb’s prodigious output – not any of his many projects – but after last night that’s certainly going to change. Gelb’s work is lazily described as desert rock, along the same lines as Calexico and such, but that doesn’t nearly do the breadth of his talent and vision justice. Over the course of his set and moving between guitar and piano, he turned out cosmic country, cabaret jazz torch songs and gloriously ragged rockers – often all within the same song. There was even a short operetta duet with Henrietta Sennenvaldt of Under Byen, with whom Gelb has worked in the past – hence the otherwise incongruous bill. Gelb himself was also incredibly personable onstage, coming across like the visiting, vagabond uncle with a twinkle in his eye. Judging from his casual manner and the way his band watched him intently for cues, I’d say that Gelb had no set list and even no set plan before heading on stage, but even so, they didn’t miss a beat and put on a superb, superb show start to finish.
