Corvallis Celtic Session

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

I’ve recently gone back to my “roots” and started attending the Corvallis Celtic Session at the eggsistential Sunnyside up Cafe in Corvallis. It is a great friendly session; there are some strong regulars that make it fun and varied, and I recommend the food if you are hungry. Originally I didn’t know the name of the bloke pictured playing fiddle, but I found out that his name is Mark Phillips. I plan to make it a regular occurrence and of course it’s a recurring event on the WazzupLocal community calendar. By the time you read this the specific event may be expired but it’s every Friday at sixish. And the next time I go I will gift everyone with a pretty ABC2ps version of Fire in the F-Hole.
ABC is a music notation computer program developed for shlepping ASCII text files of tunes around the internet easily, and ABC2ps processes ABC files into standard music notation suitable for printing. I ABC-ified a number of my tunes when we lived in Montana and I’m sure they are around here somewhere. I’m gonna dig ‘em out and start giving them out. Life without music isn’t worth living!!
