It was a night of Irish Music in St Louis. Here’s the first MP3 from my show Wednesday night at Cruisin’ Route 66. It’s actually number 27 on the setlist, but it’s one that I haven’t put up for a while.

This is a free MP3, podsafe, and free to share.

Thank you to everyone that made it out to O’Malley’s Irish Pub, tonight!

The weather was miserable. I had some emails and phone calls from friends who couldn’t make it into town, because the roads were so slick in the outskirts of Saint Louis. I wish them my best. Kansas City, MO and Chicago also had reports of miserable icing. Somehow, the real junk missed us. We just had a year of drizzle, today. The streets stayed too warm, in the city, and much of Saint Louis County, to ice up.

I haven’t listened to the recording, yet. If anything came out, I’ll post it on my music page.

Looking for Irish music in Saint Louis, this month?

Come out to O’Malley’s Irish Pub, 1900 Cherokee St, this Saturday night for a 21-and-over show. I’ll be there at 9PM, ready with the Irish tunes, so bring your girl, your boy, your friends, and your requests.

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.

Here it is, now. It’s the lovely “Black Velvet Band” from that surreal show in St Peters, MO.

Here’s also a photo that Rachel sent me.

Cheers!

Call all your friends and tell them to join you tomorrow evening at the Borders in lovely Ballwin, MO. I’ve had some great in-store shows in Ballwin. So, come be part of the fun in the County! St Louis County, that is.

All right! Here’s another track from Friday evening’s in-store performance at Borders in lovely St Peters, MO. Thanks so much to the people who came out, that evening. Special thanks to the fine students from O’Fallon West, and every other high school represented. You guys were a lot of fun!

Also, as 11 September comes around a bit too fast for me, each year, I still find myself in a bit of a navel-gazing remembrance mode, today. So, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the heroism of the first responders, and the strong attitudes that make me lovingly miss being in the city that never sleeps, than to offer this biting tale of an iconic arse-kicking New Yorker.

Writing this one makes me need tissues. BRB…

So, here is the Big… Strong… Man!

Here is the first free MP3 from Friday night’s show at Borders in St Peters, MO. The crowd participation rivaled that of many pubs. Normally, I wouldn’t have done this song in a bookstore or coffee house setting.

I had a great time, Friday evening, at the Border in St Peters, MO. Thank you to all my new friends, and old friends, there, for making it such a good time. Thanks to the students of O’Fallon West High School, and all other schools well represented that night.

If you have photos and video, just leave me a comment, and I’ll go check them out.

The recording came out well, so I’ll post some MP3s, here and on MySpace. So, watch for that in the next few hours and days.
