Wednesday

Went to a pub last night, because I've seen "Wednesday - Traditional Music" advertised for a few days.  I was the only one there that gave a shit, but I talked to the guitar player for a little while, who, it turns out, also plays in a hot shit Scottish band (The Battlefield Band).  Afterwards, without any prompting from me, they did a uniquely Irish version of "Wagon Wheel."  I was a little verklempt, to say the least.  They were just as surprised as I was that anyone around here has ever heard of it.

Ireland's great, but I miss Kansas, folks.  So let's all have a drink to Joe Biden, Sarah Palin, and Fall Fest.
