Thanks, guys, for joining us for that set at Deb's during the Stroll. Loved your set at Jose Malone's too. Haven't had a chance to say so since we're still out of Roadrunner and power at our house.... Cheers~ and Happy Holidays! Vonnie and John.
The music at Troy Victorian Stroll was fine, but as I suspected, the videos that I recorded on my little camera weren't worth saving -- noisy, grainy, etc. But, I did get a couple of okay snapshots out of it, like this one:
I have an idea for a music event, and I'm wondering whether it's worth pursuing. What do you think of this:
Matt and Shannon Heaton are playing Caffe Lena on Sat. Dec 20. Sometimes they do workshops in addition to their gigs. So, maybe they'd be willing to do a workshop on Dec 20, when they're in Saratoga for their Caffe Lena gig.
But, is the idea (a workshop) just out of the question? I mean, it will be the Saturday before Christmas; so, will Saratoga be a parking nightmare that weekend? Will people be too busy shopping to do an Irish music workshop? Would there even be any place available to hold an afternoon workshop? I have no idea.
But if you think there's a fair number of people interested in a workshop with the Heatons then I'd be happy to cajole them. At this point I'm not even sure if it would be a flute/guitar workshop or a tune learning session or what... I'm just trying to get a feel for how many people might be interested. So if anyone's interested please let me know! -Dave
