Getting back on topic...

I was just informed by a friend that my favorite American dancer, Darrien, is back for a few days. Apparently I missed it yesterday and today. Tomorrow I was told will be his last day. I plan to see him in action at least once.
CK knows a performer name!!!!!! We'll rehabilitate you yet.
Darrien is one of those that puts heart and emotion into the show. As well as Adam. Two of our favs.

Which is Darrien?
Also I saw Celtic Fyre yesterday and I swear the amount of improv was incredible for them. What I mean is, they put much more into being their own character than just following a script. It really did seem better. This is one of those shows that it doesn't peak my interest to make me want to watch it often, but when I do watch it, the show brings a tear to my eye because I watch how much of an amazing experience it is for the new guests just now seeing the show, and how much fun they are having.
I think the pigeons and tables in front are definitely great parts that deliver that wow and awe the park should have.

Darrien is the African American Tap Dancer. Amazing guy and dancer!
Ah yes! I remember seeing him in the show yesterday, he did like three or four splits, as well as that whole straighten the tie looked good type of thing. He really did an amazing job that day.
Just found out via Facebook that today is Cat's last day on the bodhran! Gonna miss her!
I have no idea who Adam is. I know about Darrien because, supposedly, he is a teacher or something in York County in a school where someone I know works.BGW Family said:CK knows a performer name!!!!!! We'll rehabilitate you yet.

Wow! He's wearing a purple sweater?!?!
Didn't know his name before today, but Darrien is awesome. I haven't seen him all year. I thought he had left.
Things I learned from watching Celtic Fyre
* How to translate American (Hey-O) into Irish (Hey-Up).
* Not to drink so much my friends think I'm dead.
* Spit cleans any dirty glass.
* Always remember where I put me keys.
* Irish counting is mighty odd and must not have a three: "4 claps, 2 claps, 1 clap."
* You can do more with a broom than just sweep.
* Sitting while dancing IS allowed.
* BIRDS! Incoming!
* Meet your wife's American friends BEFORE the reception to avoid duels.
* How to spellsheleighe, shilleigh, shillelahe, shillahee ... Okay, maybe not that one yet.
* Don't try Irish step dancing with a broom at home without LOTS of pillows on the floor around you. **ouches**
* Note: I must offer Frankie a light for her cigar when I see her, poor girl.
* Seeing a door lying on the ground compels me to dance on it.
* Gal bodhrán players rock.
* Watching American tap dancing makes my knees hurt for some reason.
* A good STOMP gets everyones attention.
* May God fill our hearts with love.
* EVERYONE, CLAP ALONG!!
* We can all be friends.
* Of all the shows that e'er I watched, I watched it in good company.
* Good night and joy be with us all!
Edit: Oh, and don't leave the sword out again!

Celtic Fyre taught me that my daughter absolutely loves that style of dancing as well as the pretty girl's dresses. Even in front of a crowd outside, she will start dancing and twirling around. So cute. Almost brings a tear to my eye.
I don't know if there has been a complete breakdown of the songs, but here goes.
Streets of Dublin - A Man of No Importance - A musical, many lines have been changed, the production was set in present day*

Tim Finnegan's Wake - Irish folk song, also made famous by Dropkick Murphy's
Wild Rover - Irish folk song, made famous by The Dubliners and The Chieftains

*The lines changed -
from: 190 lamps in Phoenix park alone, he's done it drunk for over 57 years -
to: He's done it well for 3 and 7 years
from: There's music like nothing you've heard if you know the right jukebox to play -
to: There's singing like nothing you've heard if you know the right music to play
from: For the men who get drunk and raise true f*&^ing hell -
to: A kiss from a lady that says wish you well.

From: And there's Maureen who's door is always open for... all Dublin. =-O
To: And there's Maureen who's heart is always open for... all Dublin.

I didn't catch that one, well done. I was going by ear, because I know the original by heart.
