Dick and I just got home from the Stephanie Weill Center where we enjoyed a couple of hours of watching the Trinity Irish Dance Company perform accompanied by a group who wrote a couple of their numbers called Stone. It is fascinating to watch the dancers. They make such use of their dance for both the beauty of the dance itself and for incorporating their sound into the entire body of the music.

I was interested to read in the program that a couple of pieces were cowritten by Liz Carroll. She is a very accomplished fiddler and musician who performed with Green Fields of America several years ago when Robbie O'Connell and Jimmy Keane were in the group.

All in all it was a very nice evening. The first piece was called "Out of the Woods" and was on the order of Riverdance. I loved the poem that it was writted about. The first line is "On the day when the weight deadens on your shoulders and you stumble, may the clay dance to balance you."

Beautiful.

Love you
