How's this for 7 degrees of separation...and I swear, I had no idea of the connections! Friday night I saw Jesse Cook, a phenomenal flamenco gypsy guitarist. On his new album ,vocals are provided by Jeremy Fisher, who has opened for Great Big Sea...Great Big Sea has opened for the Chieftains, and Jesse Cook has also toured with the Chieftains!  Another favorite band; The Paperboys, whose former drummer now plays for...Great Big Sea! Says something about my musical taste, no?
