A huge shout out to Josh Alford who recorded this with great intention, beauty and attention to detail. This was a very informal, living room session between five musicians who gathered for pizza and songs. This particular song is an original composition of Deirdre McCarthy and we played it through and Josh just captured the best of all of us. It's a very beautiful recording. Here's a short clip, for those with a short attention span. To watch the full video:
https://youtu.be/aKB50xCzAlE?si=7HCkHAgfASB7dZ9U We have a few shows in January. January 12, we (trio) are at Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort. I am making Green Chile and Corn Tamales. Just for fun. I hope you will come and try them. January 13 we (full band) are at Jack Quinn's Irish Pub & Restaurant. The Christmas decorations are gone, but thankfully, they still have fish and chips and a cold Guinness. On January 19, we have a very interesting opportunity....we are playing Axe and the Oak Whiskey House as a trio without Spencer. We have NEVER played without Spencer but he's got some fancy weekend planned, so...it's gonna be Joy, Bobby and Deirdre. We are each taking a turn and singing some new songs. It's going to be different and we hope you'll think we sound pretty good!! On Friday, January 26, another NEW and DIFFERENT configuration: Spencer and Joy, as a duet (Joy is scared to death and feels naked already just standing on a stage with ONE other musician). She likes hiding among all the talented musicians that we get to play with. We will be at Bell Brothers Brewing. Come on down and let's see if Joy can make it through the two sets. They play 6 to 8 pm Friday, January 19.
We were schedule Saturday, January 27 at Trails End Taproom, but, they closed the doors (until Spring)...we are all four available and ready to play, so if you have an alternative for us, we would love to hear about it! Help us fill out our schedule. A gig about a million years ago...at the Armadillo Ranch in downtown Manitou Springs, CO. With Katie and Josh. How much fun...and five bucks for whoever can figure out what Miss Katie is doing....?
The birthday party was most excellent. Loved it. Great party. Lots of terrific food and drinks, and of course, live music....but the best part was all the friends. Great group of community-minded and active people in Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs. Trails End Taproom has really served a beautiful role in our community. It's been a pleasure.
