Thread Name: Open Irish in San Antonio TX
Subject: RE: Open Irish in San Antonio TX
Brewmoon N San Pedro -Thursday- 8 ish until done.
Tends to draw classical Violinists, but they can be outnumbered if enough fidders turn up - which sadly is becomming a rare event - Otherwise if you like the local Classical weenies playing at being Irish it aint that bad.
The Irishpeople in S A tend to keep it in the family, some house sessions .. excellent! but you need to know whos who to get in, or be invited.
Other events that might be interesting ... hanging of strays at the north end of town ...KKK mostly.
Then there is the now infamous invasion of drifters who don't know about the midsummer bugs and heat .... well worth the wait. In the meantime do not eat at any restaurants which tend to be staffed by these people, did I say dishwater in yer soup?
Burger joints are safe, only hiring local school kids who tend not to be vindictive or hateful.
The River Walk alone is more than enough reason to get out there and play, sessions all ova some nights and great as well. Be able to play a tune BEFORE you take out yer thang! Don't say you were not warned ... the river is cold and fairly deep!
Austin is up there!and to the Oirish down there its Pom town, ie they stay the hell away from it... I can't say I blame them ..
Did you know Robert Johnson the Bluesman made a bunch of his recordings in San Antonio
Have a nice time in South Texas where the folks love ya that much they shoot in the ass first, then ask the questions!
