Unfortunately I wasn't able to meet up with Myles and his wife for
supper, but in walking around the town I happened to walk in the same
restaurant as i did last night.
Tonight the crowd was a little different. There was a guy playing
guitar and another playing a harmonica. They weren't the
entertainment for the evening but they were playif nonetheless. I got
to talking to a gentlemen from near Dublin about golf and the upcoming
British Open and while we were mid-conversation the harmonica player
yelled over "anyone else play guitar?". I flinched and I guess that I
gave myself away. He then proceeded to almost demand that I come play.
So I finished talking with the gentleman and made my way over to who
turned out to be a 34 year old guy named Dylan. Dylan looked like he
had lived pretty hard in his days here but we was gracious and asked
me to play something in the key of G so he could play his "harp." I
obliged and for the next hour or so we entertained the folks in the
place. They were even clapping after we were done with each "song."
Then the others wanted me to sing. As you know i can't carry a tune
in a bucket but they insisted so I sang what I knew. Two Ryan Adams
songs and a Waterdeep song. That's when people started
leaving.....hopefully not because of my singing but because the place
was closing.
Anyway it was a strange ending to a great time here in Ireland. I
hope to make it to Scotland tomorrow. We'll see how that goes
