this monday at the hideout
Did I mention my deep Irish roots? There's a good reason I didn't. But on Monday, with my dear friend Kathleen Keane and Jim Conway, who I only met once briefly in an airport lounge, I'll be all pink hearts, orange stars, yellow moons, &c. Lots of whistle, fiddle, harmonica, guitar, and misty-eyed singing; lots of me trying to keep up with Kathleen's tempos too. She played in the renowned band Gaelic Storm, has a good feel for the world of song outside the borders of Eire, writes well, and looks good. That's why, this Monday at the Hideout, "If you're a Mick/Around you will stick."
And don't forget that my band returns to Fitzgeralds (Berwyn, IL), where we don't really play regular shows that often, this Friday night, the 15th. "If you desire to rock/Be there at 9 o'clock."

Yea what is it with fiddle players playing everything too fast. As a drummer and a "meter stickler" I'm constantly annoyed by fiddle players who think that faster is better. Orange Blossom Special where no one can find the "1" doesn't impress anyone. (Hey that rhymes) But good luck to you on Monday. lol
