There 's A Session Here Tonight

There was a music session last night with about 15 musicians.  Fiddles, guitars, flutes, bagpipes and several singers.  This was the first of the spring season and the bar at the Marianer was packed.  We had the good fortune of sitting next to ex-pat from Mass. who is returning to USA on Thursday.  She gave us all kinds of great information on shopping, touring and must visit pubs.  Foxy John's is one of her favorites.  It is a hardware store and pub.  Of course we will visit that before leaving.  They do not have chainsaws and axes out in plain sight.  We also met a couple from Kingston, Ontario who brought their 19 year old daughter to Ireland as she requested.  They are here for 10 days and they take her to cities that may have sessions. There daughter played with the other fiddlers last night.  We met people from Wisc., Holland and of course Dingleites.  It was a fun evening.  We'll go again next Sunday.
 
  Now we are headed to town to get money, food and snoop around.  The view again is majestic and most of the snow is gone from the mountain tops.
