Spring has sprung, the grass has ris, I wonder where the flowers is?
Hey everyone. Sorry for the delay but life's crazy meter is on its way up to eleven these days. We had a wonderful weekend at Charlie’s. The weather was fantastic, the doors were open to the patio and people were out to enjoy the emergence of spring.
Friday night we had a group come out to see us who had been with us on St. Patties day and they came back and brought a cow. Apparently the owner of the cow also played the bagpipes and Lorraine went through the thought process of going to an Irish pub and deciding whether to bring the pipes or the cow and having the cow win. ~pause for reflective thoughts~ When I returned from our first set break I found I had been replaced! Windy (yes, the cow’s name is Windy) had a hell of a voice and I couldn’t knock her for her choice of beverages.
Saturday night was a hell of a party and we would really like to thank everyone who came out to have fun with us. I came up with a new saying that night that I think really embodies my feelings on our performances. It simply goes, “Welcome to our living room! We’ve hired some bartenders for the evening.” That’s what it feel like to me anyway, just hanging out with friends and having fun. Here is a picture of a wonderful couple that was celebrating their anniversary and has hired us for their wedding party in 2010! I bet we’ll even know a new song or two by then. Hehe.
And now, for my little homage to spring, a picture of the two kites my kids were flying the other day in our park. They had a blast and I got to climb 15 ft up a pine tree to recover a streamer, so I got to feel like a kid too.
This Saturday we will be at McGarry’s in Maple Plain. We have played there before and the food is excellent and the staff and patrons are extremely friendly and welcoming. I’m looking forward to seeing that crew again and raising a glass or two with some friends.

"Cow or pipes...? Cow or pipes?.... Cow." How does that work? ^_^ Cute cow, though! And repping the P&L with her sign so that's all good.
Xander and I have been flying kites a lot lately too. I need to pick up some new ones, though, because we lost one and killed three flying them in the nor'easter!
The Cow was a little strange, but provided much humour. I have to say that was a first for me.
The couple in the second picture was way fun, we have new friends, whis IS what it's all about. The women and I turned out to be long lost sisters, having attended all the same concerts in our youth, Replacements, Soul Aslyum, Husker Du, but we never knew eachother....
Will the cow be joining your gigs, then ?
I suppose the owner thought she's be less cumbersome that the pipes.
Or the place had a VERY strict smoking ban and told the owner that he (she ?) couldn't take ANY pipes with him/her.
