The roads were closed....
The cars were buried under three feet of snow...
And Pete wore a funny green hat...But the show went on. A surprising number of attendees braved the weather and bore witness to the debut of several new tune sets amidst the bands first festival performance in several months. The transition from studio musician cave dwellers to stage incinerating tune jammers is once again underway.
Word of Bethany's infectious enthusiasm for fast reels quickly sread and soon several of the other bands present were requesting her to jump up for a few steps. But Mollys Revenge kept her in the air for most of the weekend despite the concrete floor.
Also, David was invited to join the Black Brothers for a few numbers (and of course did). There he is playing the Bodhran.
More snow fell over Saturday night while the band sat in the cozy rental house watching episodes of Father Ted. Sunday was a great challenge: the band had to dig out the cars and driveway with garbage can lids(since there was no snow shovel), take the chains on and off of the car wheels twice on the way down the mountain to the festival, and then perform three sets on different stages through out the day.
Though it made for a long day, it also made for a nice drive home....
...well, for some people anyway! (don't worry, no one was hurt!)
