Unwinding after four days of playing our music for some great events! I am so thankful I can still keep playing music, and I am so grateful Siobhan enjoys joining me! On Thursday, we were at the Lynch cottage on the west shore of Seneca Lake jamming up a storm with one of our favorite sidemen Perry Cleaveland. As with what happens at most of our private events, the Lynch’s were extremely welcoming and appreciative, making the three of us feel great. Thanks to Chris Lynch and family for including us in their lives, and thanks to Perry Cleaveland for delivering, as he always does, those hot sounds on his mandolins and fiddle.
On Friday, Siobhan and I got to kick off the Canandaigua Art and Music Festival in the Downtown Commons in Canandaigua. Throughout our twenty-six years as a duo, we have had many opportunities to play community concerts in Canandaigua, and we are very grateful to be able to keep doing this. Thanks to all who stopped by for our lunchtime concert, and thanks to Denise Chaapel, Business Improvement District director, for asking us and also creating a terrific art and music festival for the community.
We returned to Rio Tomatlan on Saturday, a place that has been our monthly home for many years now. The Rio staff has become our family, and we love being with them. Perry Cleaveland was with us again, and I know I sound like a broken record, but this guy never misses; he always delivers, and he did once again. Thanks to Perry for another awesome job, and thanks to Raf, Erin, Teresa, Brittany, Julie, Trevor, Chris, Cindy, Amy, Sadie, and the rest of the staff at Rio for just being the wonderful group of people you are. Thanks to all who came to Rio to support us and enjoy this very festive atmosphere.
Doing whatever we can do to help others is something we all should strive to do. We saw this at work on Sunday at the “Shootout for Soldiers,” a benefit for veterans put on by the Canandaigua lacrosse community. Siobhan and I were there to add a little background music to the event, and we were glad to be able to do this. I want to commend all the parents and coaches for instilling the importance of giving back. Lacrosse is something students will play for a short time, but giving back will be something they will be able to do for a lifetime.
If you are still reading, thanks for being in our lives and have a great week!
