Thread Name: What's your favourite folk reminiscence?
Subject: RE: What's your favourite folk reminiscence?
Several years ago, I took my mom to a Moloney, Egan and O'Donnell concert in Scottsbluff. First, it blew me away that little bitty Scottsbluff, NE (30,000 maybe) had booked them. Very small audience so we all got to sit in front. During the break mom and I went out for a smoke. Who should come out the door but Seamus Egan and Eugene O'Donnell to have a smoke.......visted a bit, and I asked him if he would play Celtic Lament for my mom. He stared at me and said "YOU know Celtic Lament!?" I had to admit to having his tape of it. He was that stunned! So, he introduced it, and did it dedicated to my mom, who died not long after.....needless to say, I bawled during the entire song......many, many more wonderful memories of all sorts of folk jamming and etc (lots of etc) at Stu Mossman's first factory....
