SUPER SHOW

Last night we went with Cheryl & John, Lisa & Nick, to see Celtic Women at Rama. What a fabulous show it was. They are from Ireland and have the greatest show we have ever seen. They have 3 lead singers and it's hard to choose which you like best and are marvelous singing together. There is a violin player who not only plays but also while playing she dances, runs, jump and spins in circles. While spinning in one sets her long dress twisted around her ankles to the point that it appeared that she might fall.

When they sang Danny Boy, it brought tears to your eyes, it was so great. At least 4 times it appeared that this was the final number then on again.

They also had male backups who were great and at one point a lone Piper played Amazing Grace. He actually started up in the stands immediately behind us and marched down to the stage.

They got several standing O's through out the show then at lease 10 min. at the end, with several curtain calls.

The 6 of us went in our truck, it was a little crowded but a fun trip. If we had rolled over, nobody would have got hurt.

Kevin has their CD but they are so much better to watch (though we have only seen them on tv). The fiddler (I think her name is Mairead)is amazing.

We've seen them on TV also but it's not even close to the show they put on live.

Sounds like a great show. I'm sure the truck ride home was somewhat loud.
