Thread Name: BS: Share Your Peak Musical Experiences?
Subject: RE: BS: Share Your Peak Musical Experiences?
Just had one. Once a month my band plays at the local Nursing Home. Talk about a captive audience! Anyway sometimes they're all zoned out, but tonite was one of the wild ones. Most of them were dancing, several residents and staff members were doing wheelchair Roller Derby, WOW it was just a great nite, and the residents are so appreciative. We played a real gamut of stuff: Gal I left Behind, Angeline, Just Because, Angry, Wreck of th e Old 97, Danny boy, Irish Eyes, gadzooks.
Some other favorite moments:
The first time I heard Christmas in the Trenches it was live, by John the Man in Winfield at midnight........When I got to hear Eugene O'Donnell play Celtic Lament live, in Scottsbluff, NE, no less. 1,000 people singing and signing Great Sorm is Over with John McCutcheon and Linda Tilton on the Winfield Main stage..........
