A Surprise! ....The Beggarmen....

In Iowa we went to my cousin's wedding, it was nice to see family again while we were there. So anyways the wedding was very nice, a nice service, good food, great reception (which was in a very large old barn), and my cousin did a great job on the bagpipes during the ceremony. And then there was my surprise. The Beggarmen.

We arrived at the reception and walked into to barn and there on the other side of the floor was a four member Celtic band tuning up to provide the music for the next 3-4 hours!!!! Everyone here knows what went through my mind when that happen; and the worst thing was I didn't being an instrument along!! (to the the wedding).
So it was just absolutely awesome!! I took so much video of them playing I ran out of card space during one of the best songs too. Yes, I am going to put some videos of it up, just watch in the new page. My dad did get a couple of there CD's because even he (a bluegrass lover) liked them. I got to chat with them quite a while, especially with their fiddler Tara Dutcher (her husband is the bodhran player). She plays just like Jane Hilton. And they will be home-schoolers when her kids are old enough, (Can you tell we talked with them quite a bit). So look up "The Beggarmen' band when you get a chance. My newest Celtic band that I admire.

So anyways I'll be uploading/adding pic's and videos to this post or in the new page I created.
BTW I did take these pictures.

More posts and pictures coming!
