Celtic Music in Texas

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 1. Farewell to Tommy Makem, Nov. 04, 1932 to Aug. 01, 2007 2. This in from Mark Stone: As you know, our good friend and one of the kindest men in the world, Jerry Holland, has been stricken with kidney/bone cancer. There is a fund set up to raise money to pay any medical bills and replace lost income, as Jerry's sole source of money is his music. Jerry has been kind enough to send me 6 CDs that he signed. I am selling them for $50 each to raise money for the jerryhollandfund.org. I'm asking each of you to PLEASE put a note on your websites pointing to mine, www.markstonemusic.com, to ask your fans to buy one of these CDs. Can you get them cheaper? Sure....But by doing it this way, you're helping out Jerry. I will pay the shipping to anywhere in the world. The entire $50 will go directly to Jerry.

Please bring a folding chair as seating is limited. Also, bring some water or a non-alcoholic beverage to wet your whistle. Please kindly observe the no-smoking policy for the benefit of the singers. Everyone who comes will have a chance to sing. Any song that is Irish, Scottish, or otherwise Celtic will do. Songs tend to be solo round-robin, but singalongs are great too. A cappella singing is preferred in the Irish tradition. Just bring your voice. You may also bring a guitar or other instrument if you prefer to accompany yourself. http://www.austinsongsession.com/ # Monday, August 6, 2007 "Let's Not have A Sniffle, Let's Have a Bloody Good Cry!": Remembering Tommy Makem Celtic Storm KOOP 91.7 FM Austin, TX 9 - 11 AM http://www.makem.com/ http://www.celticcenter.org/celticstorm http://www.koop.org/ # Thursday, August 9, 2007 The Harp and Shamrock Society of Texas Beethoven Home (off of South Alamo) San Antonio, TX Phone 210-656-2666 for information http://www.harpandshamrock.org/ # Friday, August 10, 2007 Pubcrawler B.D.
