Who doesn’t love mystery and intrigue?
Elvis Costello is back in the studio at Toronto’s historic Masonic Temple. Work got underway on Season Two of Costello’s acclaimed musical series Spectacle (CTV, Sundance Channel). Production started today, according to a CTV media release.
God bless Costello. As far as I can tell, he’s one of very few musicians who spells Alison correctly. He recorded a song called Alison and fascinatingly enough (to me anyway) he also recorded a song called Veronica, which happens to be my mother’s name.
