'Broken Things, led by guitarist Bill MacKay, combines
elements of jazz and rock music with downright hummable melodies to
make songs that sound familiar even though you’re hearing them for the
very first time.
Instrumental pop music – if such a thing can exist – is rare
to hear played live, and played well, rarer still, but MacKay’s
compositions are much more nuanced than your typical jamband.'

The first day of May in France is "La Fête du Travail" (Labor Day). May 1 is also "La Fête du Muguet", and the tradition is to give the ones you love a little bouquet of lily-of-the-valley, for good luck and to celebrate the arrival of spring.
