It’s my birthday tomorrow! (The 25th, that is.) And, quite coincidentally, two of my most favorite musicians in the world were in town tonight (and tomorrow night, the 25th, too!) at the Freight and Salvage in Berkeley: Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill. They are incredible… some of the best Irish music you could ever hope to hear.
Here, this is a favorite of mine. This one too. Give it a listen.
I value my sleep highly, but if they had kept playing until 5 AM, I would've stayed for it. They're just plain amazing.
I think you were on my side of the Bay while I was in yours!
Happy birthday!
