Tonight and tomorrow night, 9 November and 10 November 2007, my good friends from Kansas City, The Elders, are playing at The Dubliner Saint Louis.

The Elders are known for their infectious original songs, and lively shows.

The Elders are:

• Ian Byrne - Vocals and Percussion
• Norm Dahlor - Bass, Banjo, Guitar and Vocals
• Brent Hoad - Violin, Mandolin, Keyboards and Vocals
• Joe Miquelon - Keyboards and Saxophone
• Steve Phillips - Guitar, Mandolin, Vocals
• Tommy Sutherland - Drums and Percussion

The Dubliner is at 1025 Washington St, St Louis, MO. That’s on the northwest side of downtown Saint Louis.

Check them out! I may make it there, Saturday night.

PDA. Teachers and administrators across the country are cracking down on that age-old problem. I remember being in high school, and frequently seeing a couple sucking face in the hallway to the extent they might have had to go the ER to have their uvulas (little punching bags to some) separated. Now, principals are giving kids in-school suspension if they get caught three times… HUGGING. Those damned kids and their… HUGGING. OMG! Heather. Look at those girls over there, crying, and hugging because one of them made cheer.

Not to pull a red herring, but shouldn’t they be worried about the kids who are beating each other up for their shoes, or something?

To you school administrators who are bent out of shape over kids hugging on school property: SOMEONE NEEDS A HUG!
