Great Big Sea

Over the weekend, my friend Lynlee asked me to go with her to a concert last night in Salina at the Stiefel Theater. The group was called Great Big Sea. I'd never heard of them, despite them even having a Wikipedia page (I bought the CD/DVD combo of Courage & Patience & Grit mentioned in the article). Lynlee has great taste in music, and I like discovering new music, so I said, "Sure! I'm game!"

I'm so glad I did! What a dancing, clapping, sing-along time we had. So, I only knew one song ("Mary Mac"), but I still had a great time. We had an even better time when Lynlee traded in the tickets for disabled seats, which moved us from row 6 aisle seats to in front of the front row. Being in a wheelchair sometimes has its benefits. ::grin::

I have included here a couple of videos of songs performed last night. First is Sean McCann taking the lead on "Mary Mac":





One of my favorite original songs, "Consequence Free," with Alan Doyle doing leads:





Good company, good music, good times.
