Celjun - not a misprint. It's Celtic music mooooshed with Cajun music and it's tonight at Blue Moon. Twist my arm, I gotta go!!! Tony Davoren on guitar, Mitch Reed on fiddle (he plays fiddle & bass with Beausoleil) and a flute player - wish I'd caught his name!! The music is amazing and we are there to watch. But after the members of the Ryan School of Dance Irish step-dancing team did their thing, the floor was cleared and everyone got into the act. Some of the Irish music was very contra-like, so Matthew instigated a two-square (8 people) dance that was as good as any rehearsed performance.
One of the audience members was staying at the Blue Moon, visiting from Ireland, so she got her flute & joined the band for several numbers. Then the bagpiper arrived, in full Irish regalia fresh from the Lafayette St. Paddy's Day parade, to play with the band. It was a swirling, whirling night of dance and music and high spirits.
