Sounds like some old friends of mine back in England.Yep, he's pretty good. We are learning some tunes for a set that we are performing for high school orchestra students at a statewide gathering, followed by a faculty quartet from the university, and a local family bluegrass band. We are starting the show. around a kitchen table (on the middle of the satge), casually, session-style. We are an Irish trad session, not a band. although we have quite a bit of performance experience among us.
and I have Anthony Bourdain on in the background...
Bringing the instruments into the local pub, whoever wants to join in can.
Steve and I used to enjoy his friends Martin and Andy doing this exact same thing at dinner parties, and the kids of some who were in school for music would join in with their instruments.
There were fiddles, mandolins and at times, myself playing flute.
The Rose Of Tralee was always a big hit, so was Come Saturday Morning, by the Sandpipers, although it's not traditional Irish, that song was always a big hit.
I love playing it on my flute and the piano to this day.
