My city has a free concert on Sunday nights at the city's outdoor amphitheater. I never pay much attention to those. Today a friend of mine called to let me know there was a Celtic band called "Loan Raven" playing tonight ( http://www.loneraven.com/loneraven.htm ). Never heard of them but I had nothing special to do tonight so I attended the concert. Wow! They were fantastic. Based out of Columbus, Ohio they have played at various placed in the area but I have just never ran into them. I sure hope the city invites them back next year. I will have to keep my eye open for them playing at any Celtic Festivals I attend going forward.
Of course I wore my kilt. It was the USAKilt semi-tradition in the American Tradition tartan. Of course I was the only one in a kilt. I was also one of the younger members of the audience. I think the average age attending was somewhere around 95. Someone asked it I was associated with the band. Another asked if I was playing the bagpipes that night. After the show I had to stop at the grocery. The cashier commented on Scottish neighbors that lived next door to here years ago.
Over all it was a great evening. I should take more notice of the city's concert series next year. This was the last show of the season.
