The River's Edge: Quincy Art Fair



Well, our little Celtic/Old Time band,
The River's Edge ...
Played this afternoon at the Quincy Arts Fair
from 4:30 to 6:00pm.

We play again tomorrow, Sunday,
from 2:00 to 3:00.

It was a new experience for us as a group.
We play at La Gondola every Thursday night
And we've had several paid gigs ...
But this was our very first actual "public" appearance like this.
We were a little nervous before we started ...
But after that first song it was just like always and we were comfortable and had a great time.




I do have to tell you that our Fan Club was there ...
All four of them!!!!!
We love them and it was great to look out there and see their smiling faces.
They were in the front row, of course!!!!!



My thanks to Gloria for taking these pictures for us.


While we were playing there was a little boy in diapers ... younger than two ...
I'd guess around 11/2 or so ...
He was standing right up front dancing.
It was the cutest thing I've seen in a long time.
Soooo cute!!!!

When we were all packed up and leaving,
a little elderly lady came up and said,
"I was so afraid you were going to play Americanized Celtic music,
but you did just fine. You sounded wonderful!"
Now ...
That made us feel good.

Very nice pictures of your group playing at the Quincy Art Fair...You are probably getting ready to leave about now for the Sunday performance. Wish I was there sitting right along with your other fans.

It was fun to play and have people respond and enjoy themselves. Especially when we went back on Sunday and they had come back again to hear us and brought friends! That was cool!!!
