Woodvine is possessed

Back in January of this year, (January 26th to be precise) I had the pleasure of presenting a concert titled 'One Night Only with Andre Woodvine and The Original Unit' at the Divi Southwinds Hotel. You can see a video from that performance here. In the audience that night was vocalist and Barbados Community College faculty member Dionne Lashley. 

Dionne recently sent me a few thoughts on her impression of my performance that I felt were worth sharing...

 Dionne wrote;

Possessed?

"It's almost like he is a man possessed. You know what it's like - well, what movies say it's like - when someone is possessed. That other being takes them over, and they have no choice but to channel its message, its thought and feelings. Andre's like that - he takes that horn up and it's like he's possessed. You can see his entire body is taken over, and out blurts the music like a foreign tongue, like a divine seizure. It appears involuntary, as though he couldn't stop it from coming out if he wanted to. And it's mesmerizing - you have hardly an idea of what's going to come out next, but once it does, it's as though it couldn't have come out any other way. I am spellbound."

Dionne included this comment with her quote;

(Note: I'm not into the whole spirit world business, but somehow this is the analogy that came to me at the time.)

Phew, thanks Dionne, that's an interesting analogy! I'm only sorry Dionne doesn't write reviews for our local paper!
