The Five-Dollar Goat and Chickens in the Yard...in action!

Last year I wrote these jigs, The Five-Dollar Goat and Chickens in the Yard, in protest of North Mankato's "no livestock" policy. (Really, what harm would a goat and a few chickens in my backyard do?)

The band and I played the jigs TWICE during our performance at Riverfront Park last week, just to drive the point home. Unfortunately, I think my protest was mostly ignored by the media and the North Mankato City Council. OK, it was totally ignored. Actually, they had no idea it ever happened.

I was going to let it rest until I saw my friend Carol of the Paris Breakfasts Blog post her adorable painting of a client's goats in front of the grand tea salon Laduree in Paris. Scroll to the bottom of her blog post to see the goats in action. Goats. At Laduree!!!

It reminded me that it was probably high time to post this video of my barnyard jigs being performed at our St. Patrick's concert in March. Here goes:

Take that, no livestock policy.

P.S. want to see YOUR livestock or pet in a painting at Laduree? Contact Carol here!
