Last night we threw Sophie and her friend, Kenzie, into the backseat of the car and headed for our local library. In the auditorium, they were featuring Night of the Keltic Dead: A Musical Journey into the Celtic Cultures. We enjoyed watching and listening to four gentlemen tell us a bit about Celtic history, the origin of some of the songs, and their beautiful music. One of the men was labeled "one of the top ten accordion player's in the world" and "second in our nation." Not many people can say they have rubbed shoulders with that kind.
There were plenty of fun pub songs to keep the kids interested. Just 10 min. before the intermission we did have to take Sophie out for a run. And the kids lasted another 40-45 minutes after that. We were amazed. It was a lot of fun and sure beat sitting on the couch watching TV at home. In about 2 weeks we will have "one of the top ten" piano players in the world (from Italy) grace us with his presence. Not bad for a small town and all completely free!
