thanks for the compliments. If you remember, they were looking for a 'stage title' for me for the advertising and the introduction, and at one point it was going to be 'The Emerald Belle'. It finally was decided to use 'the Irish Colleen'. This was fun. I was asked to sing at the much larger Victorian Ball in Hardin next year. Hardin is near the Little Big Horn Battlefield, site of Custer's last stand. They do a very large re-enactment of the battle every year. I didn't know they had a Victorian Ball, too, but the dance teacher and organizer for the Hardin Victorian Ball was in Virginia City, and she asked me to sing for her event next June. photo of Custer battlefield This is the first time I'd done a performance like this, and it was a blast. I can see that singing at historic re-enactments could become addictive. I know alot of you Mudcats do this. I think what I liked about this one was that it didn't take itself 'too seriously' in trying to be completely obsessed with every detail being historically accurate. It was fun.
