Sat. 2nd post :)

So - the music last night. Frankie an egotist & it showed. Fiddler. Along w/ man on guitar, man playing accordion  both electrified :(( his smile was warm & scarce) and bass player. Also two male Irish dancers, and wannabe torch singer w/ country twang :( Didn't really succeed. Huge flowers on dress. Asked M if she ever asked anyone if that made her butt look fat. She should have. Guys were in Linannes when we were leaving. Mike old the Frankie guy we came 6k miles to hear the concert. Guy didn't asked if we enjoyed it.

After concert, 2 hrs. of ceili music & dance in the 'barn'. 20€ to get in; way too fast. Had to leave when I started to worry about older gent, slightly overweight and breathless. I didn't' want to watch heart attack.

Sinead from Durrus asked us to say hi to Orla @ Vaughn's pub. We did and then while waiting for taxi hours later visited w/ her outside pub. Reminded M & I of Jude Dunn so much! Warm and friendly. She remembered us from earlier, even though Vaughns least welcoming pub. Too busy there & too crowded. In Linanne's a couple of ladies from concerts (locals) asked us if we liked the concert. Preferred Friday's at the cathedral. Chatty :) Then walking back to Vaughn's (taxi pickup rendezvous, mayor walking other direction (also MC) asked if we hadn't been in the barn & didn't stay. He wanted to give us money back. We said no - donation to festival fund for heaven's sake :) He said he's 'sometimes' mayor :) not quite everyone knows your name, but we have been noticed, for good or bad.

Off to church, lunch, outdoor concert. French couple at breakfast this am. More French for me :)
