Thursday nights find my bodhran-beating wife and and my guitar/banjo-picking self at a session at a local "Irish Pub" (or what masquerades as one in the States). We usually have 10-12 people show up: 3-4 fiddlers, concertina, button accordian, bouzouki, mandolin, more guitars, more bodhrans, flutes & whistles. We stick pretty much with trad Celtic instrumentals though a few old-time and swing tunes have been known to sneak in when nobody's looking. It's always a hoot.

We also exhibit our pottery at a monthly "Art Market" to benefit a local arts center which provides art instruction to (mostly) under-priveleged children. We usually have at least one session there to provide free entertainment for the artists and visitors. It's an "anything can happen and probably will" type of jam session. Celtic, blues, bluegrass, jazz, folk-rock, swing, native American flutes, drum jams: you name it - it happens. It is also a hoot.

Other than that... the occasional paying gig, the occasional festival and a lot of playing for the walls.
