Still Marching to the Music

As I mentioned in my blog from a few days ago, we are "March" ing to the music this month. On Sunday evening Jim and I went to McCauley High School to hear Solas. The tickets were won on WNKU when I was the lucky 6th caller!

On Tuesday (tonight) we drove to Hamilton for the 10th Anniversary of the Music Cafe. It was a joy to hear three of our favorite musicians helping the MC celebrate their success. There was standing room only in the cafe and the celebration was in full swing when we arrived. I found Carol and Joe enjoying the music. Mark Cormican was performing when we arrived. He ended his set with my favorite song of his ... "Always in the Mood for You". I've loved that one since the day I first heard it!

Next up was Eric Loy, a fingerstyle guitarist with some very unusual renditions of known and unknown songs.

We moved up to the front row to enjoy Raison D'Etre. Violet, Roberta and Vicky were performing songs from their newest CD as well as a song from their Swing Canary sets.

Jake Speed had the crowd in stitches at some of his lyrics and stories! I never get tired of hearing Jake and the Freddies.

We had a wonderful time and were only sad that when we got home it was bedtime and not time to play a few tunes. (Ahh, if we were still in our 20's we'd just stay up all night and jam)

It was truly a wonderful night and well worth the drive to Hamilton.
