Music, poetry and wine

The Cambria Eisteddfod at Morgan Creek Vineyards chose the perfect day for their celebration of music and poetry. The Celtic Band and I set out for the day of adventure and entertainment.

We gathered under the great oak (oak = sacred to the Celtic bards).

And set up, waiting for the poets to arrive.

They each read their poetry magnificently. The famous poet-judges conferred, debated and finally chaired their bard. And we played into the lovely afternoon. We revived some of our music from the Gymanfa Ganu concert last September, and revisited some old favorites. Great fun to play in such an artistic, beautiful setting.

Never played quite so close to a tractor before.
But then Morgan Creek is a working winery.

Martha plays so beautifully.
But Sam, why the funny look on your face?

Oh, I see...

...not a bad idea!
(It's a winery, after all...)
