It's Kerry Night...and the feelin's right...oh what a night!

Dear Friends,

We're going to have our Kerry night tomorrow night, featuring a little bit of palavar about popular music from the area, a few tunes on the boom box, as well as playing some polkas and slides. If you've picked some out to share, please bring them and we'll give them a lash. We'll also play some of our standard session tunes, so get bonin' up!

I've been corresponding with Kyle Carey and Maura MacNamara, both of whom are out-country, and loving it! They send their regards and shared with me their experiences with "styles", Kerry, and Irish music in general. I've condensed some of their comments to share with you tomorrow, and if anyone has been to Kerry and wants to share their own perspective, we'd love it! I don't intend to spend very long on this part, as we all desperately want to get to the tunes -- so no rambling, I promise...

See tomorrow night, Wednesday, October 8 from 7:30-9 PM! Don't worry if you don't know the music -- I don't really know many polkas or slides either, so we're going to wing it together and have some fun!

Remember, $4 covers photocopies and heat! Bring treats to share...

Stay Warm!

The Trad
