Ireland
Thanks to everyone who was cheering for Jane Rivar (and me backing her up) at the Song of Peace Contest in Tipperary Town, Ireland this past weekend. We’ve been having a great time, and our performance was really fun and touched a lot of people. We took fourth in the contest. The winner was Derek Ryan, and you can check him out here.
I’ve been having fun in Dublin for the past few days. Here’s a photo I took of the sidewalk in Temple Bar this evening. It’s an obvious statement, but sometimes it’s nice to see a truth printed out right there in front of you where you might least expect it.
This didn’t come out as well as I’d hoped, but there is a thick layer of rosin on this fiddle, which had just been set down while the fiddler went for another pint after playing the hell out of it.
Here’s the view out my hotel window of the beautiful and historic Christ Church Cathedral.
