Ok, a good Music Supervisor never turns down a chance to travel. How can one know what music is played in a place if one has never visited it? RIght then, off to Dawson City in the Yukon I had to go....

Dawson blew my expectations for sheer beauty and, to be expected, the people are a little bizarre and wonderful. If you every have a chance to go, I highly recommend it.

Oh, and the music? The local casino and card room - Diamond Tooth Gerties - does a turn of the century gold miners stage show that is tacky Vegas Junior. But, its sweet in its own way with a piano player and a drummer backing up a 20-something belting old showtunes to the accompaniment of four dancers showing their knickers.

Yah, Dawson is fun. Ya gotta go.

It's great to be young. And its great to have been young. You can have memories of a time that is no more. Like 1974 and David Bowie touring Diamond Dogs for the first time, in a concert environment that trumped all that had come before.

It was Toronto at O'Keefe Centre - yes, that was its then beer branded name of the time - and i was 20 rows out off to the side. Well, until intermission when we would then move into and down the aisle to sit 10 feet from the stage for the rest of the concert. And that's what we did that nite.

Bowie - sitting in a hydrolic powered giant hand - descending to the stage - in the most broadway of entrances, and nothing like any other rock show until then. And too few since. Wow.

The band played mostly hidden from view - a sax player behind a scrim - singers backlit only.

This album made David Bowie a superstar to all who witnessed it. Post Ziggy and Alladin Sane for sure, but this album put him over the top.

For 1974 and a 16 year old kid it was a moment to be young - not just for me and my friends, but also the bands that followed - they then cloned Bowie the best they could to solidify Glam as a "moment in time" - and even better are the artists that Bowie helped along the way with the power that fame gave him.

yes...so much changed with Diamond Dogs. Bowie changed the world. I could discuss his impact on culture for hours.

And, I'm so blessed to have seen that concert tour. To be young and see such a thing.

They don't seem to make em like that anymore.
