A concert at the Arts Center

Saturday night I went to a live concert of Irish/Scottish music by StrathSpan (with others!) I was fortunately on front row and enjoyed it to the toes of my boots! Jigging and nodding like many other toe tapping friends in sold out audience! At Black Mountain Center for the Arts,

There were no programs, but I plan to call the Arts Center and get the names of the musicians! They have them! Most were just introduced once, and then called by their first names. It was an intimate setting, after all.

The first added instrument was a small Irish pipe, wielded expertly by Katharine...

Next added instrument was Sue..., our local harpist, She was well known by the audience, and teaches harp locally.

Then we had the pleasure of all 4 of those musicians. I think they called themselves in that group the KirkDoon...which I may have remembered wrongly!

And the finale added the daughter of cello player, Pearl, playing a Appalachian fiddle style. Pearl had also danced a Scottish Step Dance which I recorded. I'm working on how to show you the clip of it! My latest adventure has been learning how to make YouTube videos out of my own videos.

Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to shrink-wrap people's brains and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead. -Arundhati Roy, writer and activist (b. 24 Nov 1961)
