Subject: RE: BS: How Goes Yer St. Pats Marathon?
This year is not such a marathon for me as last year was. I didn't plan any gigs, but got invited to do two - the first was on Friday night, a regional radio show like Prairie Home Companion, called The Main Street Show. It was taped and will be aired on KGLT fm this evening from 6-9. There was a live audience that was very appreciative - I was told "they never sing along", but I got them to sing with me on Red Is The Rose. I've known the creator/host of the show for 20 years, but this was my first time performing on the Main Street Show. His regular side-kick on the program is poet and songwriter Greg Keeler (Click Here for fun), who was great, as usual, doing among other songs, Lament O' the Laundromat, in his best Butte imitation brogue (Click Here for lyrics). The show was a blast. I was the nod to St. Patrick's Day, doing four songs, dressed in a long green velvet gown, looking like something out of the Lord of the Rings.

The other invitation is to join in a group playing from 6-7 this evening for a St. Patrick's Day supper at a small church.
