Yesterday, me'n Mrs. G went over to The Auld Dubliner Irish Pub and Restaurant located in the ski resort of Squaw Valley USA to listen to the Sunday afternoon Celtic jam featuring our friends Bev and Bentley and some of their friends playing acoustic music. The food was good, too.
Bev, a founding member of The Saddlerash Bluegrass Band, says they've gone over to 'the dark side' as bluegrassers refer to Celtic music. She's one day younger than I am, so I replied that at our age the occult, witchcraft, magic, etc., not to mention 'the little people', are lookin' better and better every day.
These folks play this kind of music out of the sheer love of it. At this venue, the musicians play for tips and beer provided by the pub management, and the whole purpose of this post was to share Bentley's line:
"How much Guinness could we drink anyway? There's a loaf of bread in every pint!"
