The Writing is on the Wall: "MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; TEKEL, you have been weighed ... and found wanting; UPHARSIN, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians." So proclaimed God to Belshazzar, and let's just say things did not turn out well for ol' Belshazzar. Seems like the bell tolled for he. Tonight is two hours of world-trotting folk that shocks the nerves and electrifies the spine with sounds bold and unrelenting that harkens back to the hillside shepherding and fertile crescent days of yore. Instead of portending doom perhaps we portend a dance-able, madcap night of music the kind you'd have if you had a pretty good idea that this were to be your last party and your kingdom would come crashing down tomorrow for some reason.
