Thanks Spaw...
Well, the great Si Kahn opened... what a tallent. Anyone who never heard Mervin Barr get his CD New Wood. Then there was a young apalachian singer, I don't recall her name. She was wonderfull, than we were on...
We opended with a set I call Swift's Modest Proposal, which is on our CD and welcomes MazzMlani Swift into the band, then we did Amadou Diallo and I saw the hankies come out. We then did Yvette's Song, the true story of Innu activist, Yvette Micheal. Well, a Montreal radio show host was there who knew Yvette! So he is going to be playing our stuff..., then we did Engine 33 (you all have to hear McGrath of Harlow's version!!!) I had trouble not crying, and I could hear sobbing in the audience. The pipes sprung a leek, and I was pumping like a madman during the end of the song, but it came off well.
Then Peggy Seeger followed us, and she was WONDERFUL! At the intermission Peggy praised my writing, and I nearly started to cry again, she and Ewan are really heros of mine... Si was a real great fellow also, and asked me to do some of his songs, again, I am completely chuffed and will do his songs and honored to do so.
Cheers, Larry
