Josephine Foster, Victor the Spaniard, Daniel Greene: Marsh Botanical Garden 6/5/13

The Marsh (as in O.C.) Botanical Garden is on Prospect street and has a cool greenhouse where this happening happened. Local "teacher" Daniel Greene sang simple folk songs of relevance to the New Haven community. The self-proclaimed assistant mayor of State St, offered up some funny local stories which fared better than his "i-wrote-them-on-the-back-of-a-napkin-while-riding-the-bus-to-get-here" style of songcraft. Next up was Victor, who was definitely from Spain, but gave no indication of his last name. Maybe he was in the Spanish witness protection program. He played beautiful percussive, flamenco-y songs of love, horses, and friends. His instrumental about the Pacific side of North America was great, i mean.......nice. Headliner Foster has a couple of recordings. Her woozy, old timey voice got tiring after a few songs.
