Sweet! I love seeing you doing what you love! Lots of travel and exercise.

I have a lot of Celtic songs on my Band-In-A-Box. I can create some tunes for you if you like!

Here's a lesson you might like.

@Clayton, quoting a very wise man, "Better be plenty o' pics n stories, my man."  😉 

Thank you @Robert, I do love an adventure and, as a dear friend once said, “This ain’t no dress rehearsal, so you better get to whatever it is you want to do”.  I’ll definitely have some good stories making new friends and doing something cool.

That lesson was a great link!  Seems the music scene is so social.

@Matonanjin, Wise words and a keen directive- consider it done!  If we’re lucky, there will be a video of me partaking in a local “session”

@robert Yes! Crank a few Celtic tracks out of the the Hurdy Gurdy Band-In-O-Box, I could definitely use help getting up to speed!

@Clayton, on your trip to Ireland you can’t avoid this song.

Botany Bay!  Here's some young fellas giving it a try:

I didn’t know the two Irish guys before. Thanks for sharing -  a beautiful rendition.

And all in all a touching anthem!

I attended an open mic night in Galway and really enjoyed the house band as well as the variety of folks who stepped up to play and/or sing.  From traditional songs to current material like U2 and Peter Gabriel.  The list of regulars who came to play was long so I did not jump in.  (I was recently playing Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and thought that an appropriate epic style for pub play).

Ah well, left Galway and hiked the Aran Island- Innismore.

I'm envious. Enjoy!

I’m envious too!!!

Enjoy the wonderful landscape, the contacts with the local people and the Irish and Scottish music.

What a sky and what an enchanting panorama. You are really lucky, Mr. and Mrs Clayton 😊. 

@bluesiline 8 days of sunshine in Ireland.  Now, Edinburgh!
