[Old Sarge]

Good Evening, Canteeners, Troops, and All the Ships at Sea!

A wonderful brisk day in the Sunshine State! Gorgeous weather, never hit 70, with a steady breeze. It was heavenly!

Now, as promised, here's a shot from the recent faire:

I think I was struggling for a lyric at that moment... ;)

Now, that photo was taken at Baronial Bash, which falls on each Halloween weekend. it marks the founding of our local barony, and it's a weekend-long howdy-do with tourneys, combat, feasting, and of course Bardic Circle. Sarge even got asked to sin for the Royal Party at feast! Thankfully, Sarge did a passable job...

That subject being broached, how many good folks remember during my deployment to Iraq, all those years ago now, all those wonderful Celtic tunes we shared? I'm trying to rebuild that collection, for use at performances (it always helps), so if anyone still has links and files, send them by all means!

More pics as I get them!

Those hedonists, what nerve.

Great picture, Sarge! :) Looks like you had a wonderful time!

What kind of “sin” did you perform!? ~~~ducking~~~

Good evening, Sarge - I didn't know you were musical until I saw your post on FB yesterday or today. I share your love of music and I am a Celt.

In my late 30's, I started taking voice and sang in the Tenor section of a couple of excellent church choirs and with the Oratorio Society of Washington. Later cantored in my church for many years and still sing in the Chancel Choir.

Here's a tune that I remember from almost fifty years ago from Finbar and Eddie Furey:

"The Lonesome Boatman"

I hope you enjoy it!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Eagles Up! Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Good morning, Sarge...((HUGS))...wonderful adventures.

I’ll dig around and play some Celtic tunes Friday and Saturday.
