I FOUND A SESSION!!!!

In San Antonio! Texas!!

I even taught them a few tunes (although I could not play along with them). The session is at a Pizza place. There was a mix of stringed instruments (guitars, mandolin, fiddle, and cello) and there was an accordion (so now I can use my tuneable whistles) and a lady who plays bohem flute and soprano whistle (a Burke). I’m very excited. They need a low whistler. Now I have to get up to session speed and increase my goof-up recovery skills (which are deer in the headlights level at the moment).

That’s great!

An Irish music session in a pizza place in Texas…gotta love the melting pot/USA. :thumbsup:

True that! Sounds like a fun little session. Hope you like it! And maybe when you get your “goof-up recovery skills” up to par, you can fill in that low whistle spot! :smiley:

There is one on Thursday nights at
Olmos Bharmacy
at the corner of Monte Vista and Olmos Park
San Antonio

and if you dont mind the ride (!) Austin has a coupe of good ones as well.

The Olmos Bharmacy is more of a sing-along than a session. Very light on the Irish music too sometimes. Pretty much, if anyone wants to participate, they can, even if it’s just to sing random songs they wrote. I’m glad there’s a place for that, but the Pizza Italia session is what I’ve been hoping to find: A mostly instrumental group that plays traditional Irish music. There’s even a practice session there on Sundays.

That Pizza Itallia session is legend! The mandolin player is a beast! :stuck_out_tongue:
