IT'S ALL ABOUT BRINGING JOY TO OTHERS

It’s time for Sunday reflection! Today, I am just thinking about how grateful Siobhan and I are to be able to use music to bring people together to show them a good time for a brief moment in their lives. Whether we are hosting our songwriter’s series or out playing a show, the challenge to bring joy to folks for a few fleeting moments is always there, and we thrive on it. As with most endeavors, we are not always successful, but when we are, it fuels the fire for us to get even better at what we do. Well, last night at Braddock Bay Tavern and Grill, our side man, Perry Cleaveland was on fire with his Mandolins and fiddle, especially the fiddle. Folks were tapping their toes, clapping their hands, singing, dancing, and just about on the verge of taking their clothes off, a goal we always strive for. The audience response gave us the fuel to create a blaze of fire, and oh what a night it was! Don’t know when we’ll get back to a moment like last night, but we have been there before, and I know we’ll be back there again sometime. From Siobhan and me, a big thanks to Perry Cleaveland for delivering a grand slam with his instruments and harmony. Thanks to Carol Richardson, David, and the rest of the staff at Braddock Bay for always being so welcoming and accommodating. Thanks to those who came to Braddock Bay and gave us the fuel to deliver an unbelievable amount of fun for all. Finally, a big “shout out” to John Dady for giving Siobhan some tips to make our sound board work more effectively. The sound was great, Doc! Thanks for supporting our shows and listening to us online! Have a great week and do what you can do to bring a little joy into someone’s life!
