Patrick D'Arcy, Larry Dunn, and I had a great little all B session on flat sets at the annual Summer Solstice festival of traditional music, held this past weekend in Calabasas, CA.

Here's some images of the session:

With all those B's buzzing they're must have been some honey.
Seriously, Michael your photo presentations are always top notch. Great job!

Notice that the audience doesn't want to get too far in and thus away from the door.

Must be 'cause Patrick looks way too much like a hirsute bad ass!!! Love the beard Patrick.....KEEP IT!!!!!

You're gas Lewis

It was a great weekend alright Michael. Allnighters both Friday and Saturday... it was really nice to get to play the B's together and not have all those pesky wannabe pipers with their fiddles and flutes and accordions and banjo's etc joining in

Your friendly neighbourhood hirsute bad ass,

Patrick.

Michael,

A big thanks to Linda for shooting all those pics of what I hope is the first of many B sessions to follow.

Lewis- I leave it to D'Arcy for the beard growing (if I grew one, people would start asking me to play Santa Claus)

Who let the bodhran player in???

I hope he at least had the good sense to tune his bodhran to B as well.

Hey No E....think of all the gigs you'd get in December. "The Piping Santa." I can see you now in a green S. Clause suit with shamrocks sticking out of a green top hat.

By the way, that bodhran player is one of the best I've heard, I think takes instruction from some of the finest players in L.A. Never caught his name. Patrick, do you know him from the L.A. scene?

I do indeed, that's Joey Abarta. He's borrowing a practice set from the SCUPC at the moment (our first) and he is taking lessons from me whenever time permits. He's very into the pipes and already knows the tunes as he's been playing bodhrán very well at sessions for years, he's only 17 and a bright young hopeful for uilleann piping in the area in my opinion.
