Jake, Wind and Fire
Aside from the solo ukulele pyrotechnics on display at Jake Shimabukuro's solo Nightfall show on Friday night was the greatest bit of choreographed weather I've ever witnessed. As Shimabukuro was reaching the closing crescendo of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," the wind picked up mightily, cooling off an otherwise muggy evening and sending hundred of leaves swirling above and in front of him. The wind slowed as Shimabukuro faded out of the song, adding another level of magic to an already-magical performance. The crowd roared its approval at both the virtuoso before them and, it seemed, the storm that was about to hit them.
But it never did rain. Unless, that is, you count the showers of praise that rained down on Shimabukuro that night. And the fury of music that warranted it.
