After years of playing the north west counties of the "Emerald Isle"' the lads of THE MIGHTY REGIS (The Irish Show Band from County Sligo) have made their way to the U.S.

This band of misfits don't have much of a story if you ask them but here 'tis:

Young Gavin McLoud had the idea to form a band with some of the best musicians in all of Ireland...it didn't quite work out that way. So instead he asked the help of his friend Ronnie McDonald, a local music teacher and the nicest of people. The fellas then found a drummer when Gavin's schoolyard chum Gabby Byrne was released from prison, having been mistaken for an IRA soldier. Next came the search for the perfect frontman. Gavin looked and looked and finally had no other choice then to ask his half brother Francis "Franky" McNorman. A failed soccer player, Franky doesn't like his brother and doesn't like to sing, but not having any other football teams in Ireland to get kicked off of Franky reluctantly joined. While touring through the Dingle Peninsula after about a year together, they picked up a hitchhiking rabbinical student named Paddy McRib. Convinced that a life dedicated to music and making people happy would be more pleasin' to the Lord, young Paddy traded his yalmulka and tallit set for a used accordion and never looked back. The final pieces were added when Franky heard the voice of an angel during Mass one fateful Sunday, and the lovely Ryan O'Neill was brought on board. Finally, the band's biggest fan, Darby, an orphan boy who couldn't even afford a last name, filled a void at bass, and hopes his real parents will one day come to a gig.

Slainte'.

Since you're amazing, I thought you might like to help with an amazing cause!

I'm participating in a new walk-a-thon called the Tucson World Water Walk 2009. I will be walking 5k while carrying two gallons of water as an act of solidarity with those in Uganda who have to travel long distances to bring heavy loads of water home to their families.

The money raised through this walk-a-thon will go to fund the construction of a water well and sanitary latrine in a Ugandan school. This will allow kids to continue their education and not have to drop out in order to get water for their families daily. This will prevent waterborne illnesses like diarrhea which are often fatal due to the dehydration they cause (and the lack of clean water to fight dehydration). This will unite the community around the school and help everyone have a higher quality of life. This is HUGE.

If you'd like to sponsor me (please!), you can go to:
