Doug and I play music in a group called RagTag Irish
Band. We play every second and fourth
Wednesday at Ogriff’s Irish Pub on the square in Quincy, Illinois. Music is from 6:00pm to 8:00pm so if you’re
ever out and about and in the area … stop by and tell us hello!
With it being the day before Thanksgiving we had three band
members gone but we had a great session and lots of fun.
Got to see Dotty who is one of my bestest of friends. She did the video you’ll see over on the Facebook page.
The players this evening were as follows:
·
Lisa on the fiddle
·
Dave on guitar and mandolin
·
Rae on drum
·
Robert on mandolin
·
Rob on percussion and harmonica
·
Doug on guitar
·
Ava on tenor banjo
We played a lot of tunes and the time went by too
quickly. My calls for the evening were
Soldier’s Joy, Liberty, St. Anne’s Reel, Paddy on the Railroad, Spootiskerry
and Johnny’s Wedding. You see, we all
take turns choosing songs around the circle.
So it’s always a surprise to hear what is going to be played next. Keeps you on your toes!
There's a video and it can be found on the Facebook page which has the same name as this blog ... Music For You and Fun For Me. You're invited to like the page if you haven't already. In
it we are playing Swallow Tail Jig and Road to Lisdoonvarna. Thank you again Dotty for taking the video
for me.
As always, thanks for stopping by the blog.
Happy Music To You and Happy Thanksgiving!
