On again, off again
Just a quick note to let y’all know that we’ll be performing with Terry Weir this Sunday (1/24) as Sligo Road at The Port Tavern in Newburyport. We always have a great time, the people are great, and the food and drink are excellent.
However, if you were planning to stop by RiRa’s on Monday night (1/25) to see us, you’ll be out of luck. They’ll be closed for a private function, so we get the night off. We’ll be back the following Monday, of course.
Such is the life of musicians…which reminds me of a joke, which should tide you over until we see you in-person again:
We're not getting in, no how...
A doctor dies. At the gates of heaven, St. Peter asks “Why shall I let you pass through the Pearly Gates?” The doctor replies “I’ve led a good life, been a good husband, and saved many lives.” St. Peter replies “You may enter.” With that the gates go up and he enters into eternal life.
A lawyer dies and just before the Golden Gates meets St. Peter, who asks “Why shall I let you pass through the gates into heaven?” The lawyer replies “I’ve led a good life, been a good husband, and help many innocent people triumph.” St. Peter replies “You may enter.” With that the gates go up and he enters into eternal life.
A musician dies and just before the Magnificent Golden Gates of heaven he meets St. Peter. St Peter asks “Why shall I let you pass through the gates into heaven?” The musician replies “I’ve led a good life, been a good husband, and entertained people through my music, making them happy.” St. Peter replies “You may enter…just go around these gates, through the kitchen, up the stairs, through the long corridor….”
… um, and leave your accordion with me….”
I love that joke. It never grows old.
Just like the one about the bodhran player….
