Just saying. This is day 17 in the country and the warmest temperature so far was 17C.
Oh yeah, and it’s raining. But to be fair yesterday on the summer solstice, midsummers, it had been dreadfully rainy. A solstice with no sun! But by 4:00 the clouds cleared and we had sunshine for the longest day of the year. An interesting coincidence is the Sun set at 22:07 in both Galway and Edmonton.
Sitting at a table outside on a pedestrian street in Galway city I can hear a young lady busking. Concertina and whistle. Very competent. She has wavy red hair. She could represent Ireland on a tourism poster. A young child stops to dance. Then her father gives her a coin for the case. She skips to the case then hops back. Smiles all around.
These are tunes that are currently popular in Ireland (I’ve played at least one time) * denotes tunes played at Jay’s Irish Session
…and MANY MANY more! I will add to this list incrementally
The first week has flown by! Galway City, SW Donegal for 3 nights, now back in Galway.
Met up with old friend, fiddler and fisherman Adrian Murray. Adrian had bought 2 of my CD’s and was a big fan of Georgia’s Canada Day Waltz. He had me play it at every session and it went over very well.
here’s the link (at long last- it was nowhere to be found).
Georgia’s Canada Day Waltz -1994
For the record: there are more than 3 musicians in Galway City. But if you’re going to play at the Big 3 (Taaffe’s Tigh Coili’s and the Crane) you’ll often be playing with Johnny O’Halloran, Anders Trajberg and Declan Corey.
