Thanks, Pete.
This was a delightful house concert.
And Pete masterfully demonstrated another angle of the versatility of the reso.

I originally posted. I've deleted the first two gigs since they're in the past.
The gigs have been delightful.
Thanks to fellow lister John Gallagher for making the 250-mile round trip to
come to the gig in Ophir.

I'm really excited to be playing again with my friend (and legendary Irish
musician) Paddy Keenan. He is arguably the finest uilleann piper touring today
and it's totally joyful to play music with him. We had a uproariously good time
touring Ireland in June along with Tommy O'Sullivan.
This time it will be Paddy (www.paddykeenan.com), a fellow named Patsy O'Brien
(www.patsyobrien.com) and me (www.petegrant.com). We'll all have CDs for sale
at
the shows. Support your local and international musician. There are two Bay Area
shows and two in the foothills of the Sierras. I'll be playing my 8-string
National Reso-Phonic Model D, and may even play some pedal steel given the
chance.

This is really quite an opportunity to enjoy a legendary player (Paddy, not me)
in a good setting. They're all the kind of gigs you can stop by and say "Hi!"
Best regards,
Pete
