Thanks, folks, and thanks to my darling Alison, forever known as THE FAIR ONE, for letting folks know about it. It was so friggin cold that I could barely feel my fingers, which accounts for some missed notes (fingerstyle is a bear when you don't have fingers.......LOL). At any rate, for those that would like another chance to hear us, we are playing tomorrow, Sunday June the third, on the same stage. The same link should work. They asked us to come back and do the set again.
This is the largest all volunteer festival of its kind anywhere. It is three days of every kind of dancing, singing, performance art, as well as arts and crafts anywhere. The entire downtown area is shut down and approximately 15,000 volunteers make it happen. It has been featured on all the major network morning shows over the years and is featured in an exhibit on volunteerism at the Smithsonian Institution. The stage you saw us perform on is built around a huge stabile done by Alexander Calder, which is called Le Grande Vitesse.
If you all get a chance, look in on us tomorrow at 2:15 Eastern Standard Time (US) until 3:15PM. And if you hang around for the act after us, you will see my little girl, Ciara, dancing with the Donahue Irish Dancers. As a side note, she competed in the Detroit International Feis today and took a silver (2nd Place) in the treble jig in hardshoe. This is her toughest competition, so I am very proud of the wee girl.
Jon, it just must have been the connection. We do The Ballad of St. Anne's Reel/St. Anne's Reel in straight G.
Catspaw............bite me...........the jokes are funny as hell and you know it...........LOL.
Thanks again to all for the nice comments.
All the best,
Mick
