Damn. Only clappers? What about genuine singin musicians, who know a good number of traditional celtic tunes?
Hey Old Raven,
Annabelle said she was auditioning for - let's see what was it -
"a dark haired male beauty who can sing some of the old Irish and Scottish songs for us! "
That will get you in the door on ladies' night.
But let's cut down ladies night to one or two. Guys are too much fun to hang out with to exclude them. Besides, how else are we gonna see the kilts? But we get to keep "the dark haired male beauty" to sing for us.

Thank you m'lady. I'll get all practiced up. I may have to invite my brothers along. Nothing like family harmonies, right. Plus, I'm sure we'll all fill a kilt pretty well.

Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I can die my hair red again, like in the snapshot. I'm sure we could use all the accompaniment we can get.
I am sure Annabelle meant "dark haired" in a metaphorical sense. And if not, tough. The rest of us will welcome you. (just wear a wig when Annabelle is around) Man, am I gonna hear it from her...... Love you Annabelle, sweetie!

Jason, if you ever decide to come this far east, let me know, I'll get you some contact numbers. Tidewater Friends of Folk Music books a year to 2 years ahead. The pubs that are worth playing at usually book about 6 months ahead. Richard, Sean Connery is STILL the best looking guy around, but as far as I know he can't sing.... All of you guys can come play at my house anytime, especially if you wear your kilts! What? I meant play music of course, what else?
