Day after St. Patrick's gig

Finally a decent picture I think. This was for a day after St. Patrick's Day performance at nursing home.

Unfortunately I have my pipes covering my belt and sporran. It is a black belt and silver buckle with a thistle. The sporran is an evening sporran, fur front w/3 tassels and a silver cantle rim (technical term I'm not sure). My shirt is light green, and there is some green in the tie as well.

Thanks!

You look great!

You're looking great! A little bleary eyed, perhaps, but great.

I know those nursing home groupies can be pretty wild, but good on you for playing for them.

Good-looking outfit, by the way. Nice everything.

looking good. I guess it depends on the group but I've done shows where the audience was all nursing home and I know they really appreciate it and are great at the meet and greet afterwards but they can be the quietest audiences in the world.

Thanks everyone! The eyes were a little bleary :-) The group I play with was on the go on St. Patrick's day from 0900-2300.

I think the residents were appreciative of it. There was one gentleman I didn't really get a chance to speak with, but his friend told me he got pretty teary eyed during Danny Boy. I'm glad I had the privilege to play for them. My wife and I were talking about it, who knows what memories some of the tunes may have brought up.

Thanks again for the nice comments.

My wife and I always get teary eyed when we hear Danny Boy, especially on the pipes. I'll bet your audience loved it, both for old memories recalled and the new one it created.
