One story...

[rowangolightly]

...from this weekend, before I make the actual WEDDING WEEKEND post.

On Sunday, we shared the stage with Whirly Jig as Tullamore was at the Irish Festival. It was SUCH a treat getting to flip back and forth with them, since we each got to listen to one anothers' shows and sometimes participate a bit. More on that later...

But this story occurred in the afternoon as Whirly Jig was leaving the stage and QG was taking it. An adorable little red-headed girl, about 7 or 8, was sitting on the second row with her family. Just as margotdevallier turned to leave, this child piped up, "I loved your songs!" and I wasn't sure she'd heard so I grabbed her sleeve to turn her back around. The child repeated it and Margot beamed and thanked her back. She and I looked at each other, smiling and a bit teary-eyed. I said, "THAT'S why we do this!" She nodded and we further cemented that she and I simply love one another, before she turned to go.

Yeah, THAT's why we do this...

Elanor *loves* WhirlyJig and she has since she was an itty bitty kid. She was thrilled to see them again this past weekend and claimed she remembered seeing them before when she was "just a little baby." A feather from Margot's hat (I think it was Margot) was one of Elanor's first favors. She still has it.

Yep. You guys all make a huge impact on these kids. {{{hugs}}}

Yep, teenytiny world!

Steve from WhirlyJig is an old friend, used to be in another band with Rowan Corbett and Mark Clavey..damned if I can think of the name, GreenCastle?

And yes, I neverever forget what sort of impact we have on kids, never ever.

My brother ADORED GreenCastle! He lost their tape when his car got burgled and is heartbroken at his inability to find a copy *anywhere*. I hadn't known who was in the group other than Rowan until Very Late on Monday when someone told me that Steve was also in GreenCastle. I'd no idea Mark was also part of the group.

If anyone knows a way for me to get a copy of GreenCastle's music my brother would be speechless with delight... (and I'd love to hear it, I'm told it's GREAT!)

I had one and lost it....dammit.

I have no idea if it's still in print or not. THere's hope that they might come back out this year yet; I'll ask him. But I"m quite certain that Mark doesn't have any.

Thank you!

I'm not above begs and bribes on behalf of my brother. He's a great guy and a fabulous fan!
