The Swell Season & Mr. Joe Manning 5/29

My Mother Loved "Once". She frequently recites the whole romance between the two main actors Glen Hansard (from the Irish band, The Frames) and Marketa Irglova (classically trained Czech pianist and vocalist) and how it mirrored the movie storyline except that in reality they broke up. and she doesn't even think it's gross that he is sooo much older than her (that's an 18 year difference folks, no joke). Mom reminds me that their first album (self titled) are of love songs written by each other, about each other while they were in LOVE, and that's how the best love songs are written.
i have never seen the movie, or heard anything They have done, but i have met Glen a long time ago, and he was very cordial. and i once had a crush on an Irish girl who loved The Frames. but that's about it. but i'll be there on Saturday at the Brown Theater with my mom, and she'll be the loudest member in the Audience.

Joe manning will be opening. you know him, you love him. imagine that luscious voice in that velvety room....
