Hey kind friends and companions,

I hope you all get a chance to go out and hear and/or play some good jigs and reels.

I'll be at five bars and a retirement home in the span of three days... And I've taken the week off after!

No bars this time...We will be playing only one job this weekend - a concert at a church.
If you get bored, check the band's website, sometime:

playing flute at a St Patrick's celebration.
In the morning I will be playing cornet at a church service in memory of a friend's deceased sister. She died 10 years ago and left 2 little children. Very sad story.

Hi!
I'm going on tour! For the first time ever... I'm going with a group of musicians from college and a pipe band, to Pittsburgh/Wexford PA, Buffaly NY, and then Long Island NY - I'm looking forward to it! It'll be crazy!
Ok, must go pack

No specific plans for THE DAY, but there's a Lunasa concert I'm going to on the night before.

I'll be preforming at an old folks home. Taking the advice from a few fellow chiffers, I have talked 3 friends into backing me up on guitar and mandolin and they are even going to sing! I will be playing both my hammered dulcimer and my whistle. Wish me luck as it is my first time performing for an audience.

Cheers,
Kathy

3 sets at an Irish pub in a suburban town, so hopefully they won't notice that we throw in Scots tunes and some used-to-be-celtic but now old-timey American tunes (like Kitchen Girls etc).

And they are making me croon Danny Boy. I can't wait (for the pint after I sing it).

We had TWO gig offers for the saturday before but the @#$% fiddler wants to go CONTRADANCING instead of making $$$. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Saturday I'm playing Highland pipes, flute and whistle at a retirement home then piping at the pub that evening. Sunday I'll be piping and fluting at one of the arts centers then back to the pub in the evening. Monday I only have plans so far for the pub. Homosexuals will be allowed to assemble at all of these events.
Cheers,
Aaron
