Hi, Celtic, this is Rita. Well this was certainly a fine evening!

Greg has a great sense of humor and has the knack of making everyone in the room feel he's someone they would like to know. He stood up, introduced himself and Kate, and -- the whole room got quiet. You can only appreciate this if you've ever tried to sing in the Royal Mile. :-)

It was wonderful music. Very high energy and so much fun. Kate is a fiddler and singer, Greg a guitarist and singer, and their music covers old timey, Cajun, blues, and of course the British Isles. I could look around the room while they were playing and see nothing but happy smiling faces, it was great. People were just beaming.

The pub owners let us jam for a while after the more formal performance, too. A treat for me was, singing "Keep Your Feet Still, Geordie, Hinnie," with Greg next to me playing guitar and joining in loud and strong on the chorus. And Chance and Suzette got everyone going on some old time and Carter Family songs. Lots of other good stuff too. But there's the drive to Bobert's tomorrow, so we couldn't stay until the wee hours....

Well I agree with Celtic, I'm grateful to Mudcat for providing a way to meet so many people and have so many good times.

Rita
