Visitors from Ireland!

Last year, I met Gordon and his family at the 16th Annual Old Time Music Fete in Cahokia, IL. They were on vacation from Ireland. We did some jamming and had a lot of fun just talking, and in the end, we traded e-mail addresses. Gordon sent me an e-mail several weeks ago letting me know that they were all coming back to our area on vacation again, and that they wanted to come by our shop. We had a really great visit, they bought Cieren, their son, a vintage violin, and we played a little bit. Here's a picture of Gordon's family and me, and a video clip of Gordon and me playing "McLeod's Reel." He's a really good fiddler, don't you think?!
