NYCkayaker Waterways related music/dance/poetry 5 pm Sunday.

[bonnie13 at earthlink.net]

Before I started paddling & sailing, I used to do a lot of Irish music and dance. I still occasionally blow the dust out of my tin whistle & play at the Tuesday night seisiun that a good friend of mine runs at Dempsey's Pub on 2nd avenue (I like it 'cause there are some seriously good musicians there, but it's very friendly to those of us who aren't ready to join the Chieftains, too). We have a Yahoo group, and Matt Diaz, one of the seriously good musicians, sent out the following announcement. I probably won't be able to make it, but I thought I'd pass the word along to others who might enjoy it! 
************************************************************
Matt's announcement:
 
Please excuse the interruption, but I wanted to make everyone aware that I will be performing this Sunday with a small group at the Construction Company Theater (10 East 18th St, 3rd Floor Between Broadway and 5th Ave). The songs are all original material that was put together for this project and are all based on the theme of New York Waterways and the history that flows from it. Feel free to come along on a relaxing trip downstream with us.... 

As a warning, please forgive any butchering of an Irish tune or two that will be thrown into the mix. This group primarily does songs with a little bluegrass thrown in, so don't expect a night of jigs and reels. 

See below for details:
