House of Plauge
Hello All!
What a month it has been, since St Pats, first Paul was really sick and lost his voice for 9 days! Poor man, he says his kids loved it...Big Johnny came down and played with me at Charlie's for one weekend, as Paul could not speak, and was way too sick and much fun was had by all, I can tell you, any time we get to play with a Tim Malloys is a fine time.
Actually, another of Johnny's bandmates, from Celtic Nation, Joe Smith, came down and sat in with us too. I love hearing him play my violin.
Now I am sick. Same thing as Paul, very horrid nasty sort of thing, and tonight yet another of Johnny's bandmates, from Bedlam this time, Paul Reggee, is going to play me for the evening. Paul and Paul.
I played last night, and we had a great time, nearly forgot I was so sick. I think it was mostly the people who showed up. Three of our first favourite folks came down ( sorry no photos ) but they are them and we love them. It was snowing and icky and no one was going to come out we thought, and it started out slow and I thought, excellent, I will get thru this, and go home.
Then our frineds showed, and another table of friends. I thought, well, ok, it's cool people, I can do this for cool people. SO I said "OK, new house rule, no one gets to come in here unless they are a One Of Us. And another table came in, and I told them the new rule, and they began to dance.
Cool. Yup. Obviously. One of Us. New friends. And another table. Told them the rule. They cheered and said they were in the right place. New friends again.
And so it went. Friends everywhere, and I got thru the gig. Coughing all the way. We should call the band House of Plauge.
Thought I could do it again tonight, but finally gave in and called Paul to see if we could get a Stunt Lorraine. I think the straw that finally broke the camels back was looking in the mirror and realizing I LOOKED as bad as I felt.....
New gigs are coming soon, and we will let you know just as soon as we do!!!!!
Love and Irish,
Lorraine

I suggested "The Awful Plague" because "Terrible Plague" and "The Plague" have already been taken.
Where were these ideas two summers ago when I first met you two?
Eh..
We missed you Sat. But "Fabulous Paul" did fine in your absence.
When he beat "Pretty Paul" to Charlie's I said you don't look like Lorraine. Chuck said maybe your hormone therapy had kicked in quicker than expected. I didn't know you were in transition...?
Ah, some good jokes were had at your expense. Funny ha ha aside, hope you feel better.
Sincerely,
Daper
Do get better soon, you two! But until then, enjoy the delirium and swirling colors that spring forth when you sit up in bed suddenly.
Gods! I can but imagine the jokes....Sigh. It was a good thing I didn't come tho, non-stop coughing and entertainment that looked like death warmed over would not have been good for business....
I feel much better tho, still coughing, but up and around. Can't wait till next time when we will be HEALTHY and ROCK!
Gland you are feeling better Lorraine. Paul and I had a good time and John Sopkowiak showed up and played some fantastic songs too. Everyone was amazing and I believe a fun time was had by all.
AJ, it was great to have you there and thanks for making everything perfect, as always.
Now Lorraine and I will have some much needed musical rest for a week or three, and then we will be back at it, and I can hardly wait! Also, there are some rumors building that a live CD recording is in the works, so keep your ear to the ground.
(Okay, just read the blog, it will be much easier.)
AJ does make the nights at Charlies, him and Jeramy, I m thinking of having it in our contracts, we don't play if they are not there.....

Aw shucks, you two are okay as well.
Now enough love or the boss will think we're giving you guys extra drinks on the sly. ;)
The Boss doesn't mind how many you give me AJ, soda water being so cheap and all, Now Mr Score, that's a different matter.....
And I can't imagine the bar bill when it was the Paul and Paul show....
When is the next show?
(oh and having seen them in action for myself, I will fully support your statement that both A.J. and Jeremy are the best)
