Buff Monster is the only artist I know, who is influenced by Ice Cream, which is also mine (used in moderation) drug of choice. Buff Monster is NYC street artist visiting friends in the neighbourhood and he left his business card in Parkdale. The colours are still vibrant on this 2018 work in Parkdale alleyway. He painted another ice cream themed mural on the same spot in 2015.

JBall mural is called “Nobody Likes You”. I am guessing it is in response to Banksy mural “Nobody Likes Me". It is kind of hidden in a parking lot off Dovercourt Street and it's there not too long, as it looks new. I looked at JB website and cowboys are part of his work, but he is more focused on canvass painting, then wall paintings.

Lauren Falls is a new face for me. I saw her for the first time in 2019 in Unionville and later that year at Kensington Jazz. She is from a small town Port Alberni, BC. She came to music college in Toronto and lived and performed mostly in NYC lately.
Alison Young (with saxophone) group was at the Poetry Jazz Cafe with Michael Shand, Lauren Falls on bass, Reg Schwager, guitar and possibly a drummer.
I say possibly, because drummers at the Poetry are put in the corner and are invisible to the audience. Lauren Falls went to Humber College in Toronto and has Master from Manhattan School of Music.

Each of us has events in our lives that entail global changes. The most significant ones are birth, death, relocation. It is after such turning points that many things immediately fall into place. It becomes clear what is important in this life and what is not, what has value, and what is not worth wasting time and effort on...

"A crackling, spitting, after-dark adventure
Compagnie Carabosse disrupt public spaces with flaming artworks that remind us of our most elemental human need.
With burning metal structures, cascading candles and flickering flowerpots, Fire Garden will transform the front lawn of Tate Modern into a crackling and spitting, after-dark adventure as part of London's Burning. Amongst the flames, discover live music and intriguing goings on. Experience fire like never before and remember the blaze that changed London forever.
One of France’s most prominent street art groups, Compagnie Carabosse are a collective comprising of artistic designers, constructors, actors, musicians, technicians, inventors, poets, photographers and visual artists. For almost 20 years they have been working in public spaces throughout Europe and the world. They are driven by the philosophy that public spaces and streets should remain open to everyone and be a place for self expression and freedom."

The Hiram and Art Stamper House in Knott County, Kentucky is significant as the home of two master fiddlers: Hiram Stamper (1893 - 1992) and Arthur “Art” Stamper (1933-2005). Their house was constructed in 1931 and remained important in the development of the Stamper fiddle music tradition. Hiram Stamper was a well-known fiddler within the genre of traditional Old-Time music and his son, Art Stamper, learned Old-Time fiddling from his father. Hiram Stamper is recognized for his important part in maintaining the purity of Kentucky fiddle music and the old traditions. This music is considered a critical heritage to the southeast Kentucky region. Art Stamper is also known for his contributions to other music forms, including Bluegrass Music and Mountain Music, as evidenced by the increasing popularity of his recordings throughout his career. Although he found success in multiple styles, Art Stamper continued to revere the Old-Time tunes on which he had been raised.
Both Stampers' mastery of the fiddle has its roots in their home place, the isolated hollow in Knott County, Kentucky. Due to this isolation, in the early 20th century, when outsiders "discovered" Eastern Kentucky and the rest of Appalachia, they came to regard it as a place where an 18th- and 19th-century way of life persisted. Certainly this view was applied to the understanding of music produced in this mountainous area; rather than focusing on how musicians innovated in creating music over time, folklorists who document mountain musicians observe how those players have maintained centuries old traditions. A large share of both Stampers' significance as fiddle players relates to archaic methods, fiddle tunings, and style of play; however, place becomes an important element of this analysis. Both Hiram and Art had exposure to the world beyond Knott County, as both served in the military overseas. After 1934, Hiram remained in his Knott County home and his music is noted for its purer connection to Knott County's musical past. Art Stamper, on the other hand, did not return to his home after military service and migrated to a number of Kentucky towns, including Louisville. Consequently, his musical expressions have a greater range. Both Stamper fiddlers help us reflect on the way that folk music serves as more than a mere pastime. Because traditional music results from, transmits, reinforces, and is symbolic of the culture that produces it, this music can help us understand the cultural significance that it carries.

Then I went for this performance. And this beautiful lady sang till the tears rolled down her cheek. Those couldn’t be real tears could they? Not when she got to do the same thing again for another 5 nights! Then she stabbed me right in the heart from where she stood 10 meters away. I felt a piercing pain in my chest and a chill ran up my neck to the side of my face. Why are my eyes welling up?
You came through such an experience transformed, humbled. And some of the words made sense for the first time. You have been touched. It is like a high. You went back seeking it again and again. You do not find it often but that does not stop you from looking and I believe it makes you if not a better person, a more sensitive and caring one.
