The Friday night (1/25/02) concert just went on too damn long. Fortunately for Sorcha Dorcha, their set was in the first half, because at least a third of the audience disappeared after intermission. Which is unfortunate, because there was plenty of fine music in the second half as well. Or at least that is what I heard, as I was one of those who disappeared.

Yes, Sorcha Dorcha came off well, and I am happy to hear that Larry (InOBU) connected with Peggy Seeger and Si Kahn. This was a Peoples' Music Network concert, and above all else PMN is a NETWORK! It's raison d'être is for musicians -- particlarly those working for peace, human rights, and economic justice -- to connect with one another. We hope to see and hear Sorcha Dorcha at future PMN gatherings, including the 2002 Summer Gathering in Beacon, NY, and the 2003 Winter Gathering in Syracuse, NY.
