The Celtic Band gathers...

And it was bright and early on Saturday morning. The only time all of us could find to get together. A girl couldn't ask for better friends or band-mates.

Megan got out her tape recorder to record the jigs and hornpies she'll be dancing. She's graduating from high school in June, and we're considering this her final Irish dancing test. I'm sure she'll pass, but I'm thinking of flunking her so she stays in town to dance with us longer.

Marti regaled us with stressful tales of the complicated love-hate relationship she has with a piece she and Martha will be playing with the Mankato Symphony Orchestra tomorrow...it'll forevermore be known as "The Mahler."

But she said OF COURSE she likes Celtic music
much better than Mahler.

Everyone listened intently and (of course) agreed.

And then SamTheDrummer raided my silverware drawer...
there'll be interesting percussion at the concert!

It's all coming together so well. Very much looking forward to all things Celtic on March 14th.
