This is probably as good a place as any to make various people jealous
again. I got to see Clannad on their first US tour, at the old Ark, the
house on Hill Street. This was 1979, when I still loved them.
We got to sit on the cushions on the floor, right under the band's
noses. I had to move my legs out of the way every time Pol Brennan
wanted to put his upright bass down.

I think it was when the ARK moved to somewhere on Main that I saw Eric Bogel.

Mickey mentioned a band called Cuig to me today. They're playing the
Ark at the end of March; they have five full-length medium-fi MP3
songs and tunes at their website at http://www.cuig.co.uk which
I found pretty enjoyable. They're a young band and so this is a cheap
show at the Ark: just $12, IIRC. They have a somewhat pop-influenced
rhythm section with mostly traditional melody instruments.
(At least, if you consider the Chieftains traditional... :) )

I guess I need to mention this here, since Twila did not know it.
"The Thistle and Shamrock" airs in Ann Arbor at 8 pm Saturday, on WUOM,
91.7 FM.
Intermission music for the Muzsikas show at the Ark was the new Altan CD,
THE BLUE IDOL, which sounds *very* good on first listen.
