Greetings from Rocky Mountain National Park! Just finished our 3-day stint at the Longs Peak Scottish and Irish Festival in Estes Park--our first time here--and we had a great time! We shared our stage with Off Kilter, a Celtic rock band from Orlando. Real pros, who really know how to entertain a crowd... and us. Hope to cross paths with them again.
We learned about how unpredictable this mountain weather can be. Friday went from calm, clear and warm to wild cold gusts and spitting rain. CD sales were good, in fact they were flying off the table as we played, but that was from the wind. :(
David got a new nickname this weekend: The Bobblehead Piper, or just Bobb for short, I guess. Bill thought he looked like one of those puppies with bobbing head you put in the back window of your car. Could that be the name of the next record?!
Got to spend some late-night socializing with the lads of Seven Nations and the Jimmy Kelly Band, two other Celtic rock bands that know how to rock the house, and have fun doing it. We played two evening concerts them, and were honored to play the same stage.
Joyce and I are staying up here an extra day, to explore the park and pursue the elusive greenback cutthroat trout with our flyrods. Late--Stu
