It was a great weekend. We took in Clinton Hammond's show on Saturday, then enjoyed his company over beers and good food at his "local". Clinton is a fine performer and a funny man. I highly recommend his show.

Sunday we attended maire-aine's bbq. Marie-aine has a fine ear for melody and sings with gusto. We truly enjoyed her songs. We met some good pickers, many of whom were named Bob, enjoyed wonderfull hospitality, companionship and of course music. We were treated to Banjo, Bagpipes, accordion and two Bodhran's all in one session, No one lived up to the reputations of the instruments. All the players were tasteful, musical and polite. I particularly enjoyed a gentleman with as irish accent who sang acapella irish ballads. He gives lessons in this form Thursday night. I'm going to try and attend a couple.

Clinton Here are the web addresses I promised you. We can use another voice singing the praises of Seagulls in these forums.
