I begun attending this session in the summer of 2008, and was very happy with what I found. Led by master fiddler Larry Young, this session features both tunes and songs, Irish and otherwise. It takes place Fridays from 6-9pm and Sundays from 4-7pm, although the session will usually be called off when a major league championship game is on TV. If you're in the area, I encourage you to stop in. A fun time is always had.
While Larry originally held forth this session with guitarist John Rockwell, John's schedule has had many changes, requiring other musicians to step in most of the time. John still pops up here and there. Musicians who have filled John's spot include:
Rob Huffman - guitar, Irish flute
Flynn Cohen - guitar, tenor banjo
Paul Harty - guitar, mandolin, fiddle, harmonica
Terry Weir - guitar, mandolin, fiddle, tenor banjo
Bob Denton - guitar, tenor banjo
Liz Simmons - guitar
Henry Lebidinsky - bouzouki, guitar, tenor banjo
That'd be fun to see. However, Henry lives in Minnesota and Bob in Arizona. They only show up when they're visiting friends\relatives in the area. I believe they call Larry ahead of time when they plan on being at the sessions.
A fine time for all
