Our Busking Year, Week 52: I Bid You Goodnight (Cover)

It's the last week of 'Our Busking Year' project and Bigger E and I cover 'I Bid You Goodnight' which is a traditional Bahamian gospel tune that lots of folks have done and molded, perhaps most notably the Neville Brothers. Here we cover the Mic Christopher and Glen Hansard 'busking' version as filmed by our friend Donal Scannell..... It can be seen here:

We really, really love this song and it is often the 'end of the night song' at our house.....And then there is the fact that as well as John Carney's movie, these lost Mic&Glen videos from Donal were really the inspiration for our project:

For our last stop on the Buskateer slide we headed out to Iona Park on the western-most edge of Lotusland on Canada's Leftcoast....It's a beautiful spot near the airport...This was a clear, crisp 2011 late-afternoon New Year's day....
