The Best Weekend Ever!
Last night was BEYOND the best fun Paul and I have ever had. Wait, I should back up a bit, it was the best weekend ever. On Friday, there were SO many fun people, the Posse came down ( ALWAYS an event )and we had people from Japan, and another person having a party to send someone off to China and lots of real fun folks..I sure didn't expect it could get any better....
But Saturday night....Paul and I managed one 15 minute break the entire 4 hour show! I am still reeling, as it were, we had SO much fun!!!!! Sadly , both of our cameras were down, ( mine due to a Bizarre Hairspray accident ) but many folks had cell phone cameras and promised to send us shots. ( Yes, the one of the Laughing table, these people never stopped, and the people in front of them, yes, I will learn the songs you requested, ) and we will post them as they come in.
There was a wedding in another part of the hotel, and they were so very sweet. Sometimes weddings are hard , not sure WHY people drink quite so much , but this one was just lovely. They asked us if we would play a song for the couple to have their first dance to, and I tell you, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
We had a group of people who were celebrating the Fathers 75 Birthday who were such wonderful fun! He will never forget his Birthday Song.....
And there was a group of people from Iowa, who have come up to see us before, and are now , apparently , going to lobby their local Irish Pub to have us come down and play there. ( no, I was just teasing you, I don't think the one friend is a stalker! Hee-hee )
They came halfway thru the night, and wanted to hear Tim Finnegin's Wake, and we had already done it ( it is a PRODUCTION this song, goes on for 20 minutes! ) and we weren't sure we wanted to do it again for everyone, but, I tell you, when people throw that much money on stage, they can have whatever they want!!!!!
The people in front of the Laughing Table , ( wonderful blonde lady, you and I share a sense of humour, I adore you! ) and the gentleman who knew SO much about Irish , ( yes, please send photos ) made my night. Please come back soon!
The Pub was standing room only no one wanted us to stop. We would have gone on, but Paul and I were simply too beat to continue. I was shaking after we stopped, but we sure didn't want it to end!
I am sure Paul will be on shortly to add his comments, and we will post photos as they come in! And I am just as sure I am forgetting to mention people and all of the great things that went on, so if I am, remind me here!
I must say, I have never felt SO loved and have never had such a fine time. YOU made the night, and YOU made me so very happy, I am still smiling today. My only regret is that the Owners, Chuck and Judy, were not , sadly, in the house. I only hope they know what a truly magic, special place they have.
Let's do it again soon. Yes?
Love and Irish,
Lorraine

That sounds indeed like the gig all performers must be dreaming of.
I am so happy for you guys for I believe it is important to be supported by the audience and a drunk or indifferent crowd must be hell.
I raise my cup of cappuccino (since it is morning here) in wishing you guys many more of these gigs.
Now you're just making me jealous of all those fortunate, fun Posse people.
it really sounds great. I wish you many more blessedly fun evenings to come. (and I wish I lived closer so I could be there, cheering you on in the front row).
cheers
