The Blarney Stone on Dong Ping Lu and O'Malley's on Tiao Jiang Lu. Both have live music in traditional form most night of the week. Blarney has an open mike session on Fridays and Sundays and O'Malley's on Monday and Tuesday evenings. The band in O Malley's at present is excellent, very tradtional with a brilliant fiddle player. So if anyone is heading out this way and is a player make yourself known. We always like to see visitors as we off the beaten track so to speak. |

I really liked that hybrid; both traditional types sound great together. There is an old old man in the San Francisco Bay Area who plays a bowed instrument (I've forgotten the name of it). I'm totally blind, and I asked him if I could touch the instrument. I could tell he was nervous about it, but it was neat to see what it looked like, and I thanked him profusely. Hooray for the music everywhere. :) Teresa |
