Shack Session

Last night was the Shack Session and we had two honeymooning visitors from Wisconsin joining us. Seeing the two lovebirds reminded me of myself and Kim when we arrived in Ireland on our honeymoon.

In any case, ze germanz pulled up in the car park at the same time as the sherif and the three of us strolled into the pub to find our US visitors, the fingerpicker, hardy, the bean and angel holding court up at the normal spot. Our visitors seemed genuinely pleased to be experiencing a quiet pint in an old-fashioned Irish pub with live music playing nearby.

Speaking of live music, the sheriff gave us this one followed quickly by angel starting up this one, a Damien Dempsey song. I never liked Damien Dempsey until I saw him recently, but I have to say after being so impressed by his live performance his work has really grown on me.

SiamEZ showed up on the night as well, gifting me with a choice cigar and not even minding that I’d forgotten to bring him the CDs he’d leant me. Hey, what are friends for?
