Thanks one and all for the blickies!!

As for telling you how it went, I can say that this *past* weekend was a hell of a lot of fun! Seamus was...well, he was Seamus! Always funny, always fun, always offering some of the best music anyone could offer with the sound of the voice that continues to win WAMMIES over and over. I am always astounded by the size of the mans repetoire, and it just seems to keep growing by leaps and bounds. My band had a blast fracturing some of the old classic holiday music as well as doing some of our usual stuff, and the Step Dancers were awesome! The evening ended with a sort of free form jam with Seamus and the Pyrates doing some serious and seriously fun Carols. Silent Night had 4 different languages: Irish, German, French, and drunken. Oops...that would have been if I had a solo...it was English.

PA. has the makings of an even grander time, as the seating is for something like 300, and the event will draw more folks. The bigger the audience, the more fun the show.

Hope to see some of you there!
