This evening, we continued our musical experience during this road trip by attending a fully acoustic performance of Celtic music, actually Irish music, at BD Riley's Irish Pub. The top picture is Heather Gilmer. She's the daughter of one of Carolyn's friends from college. Heather is a civil engineer with the Texas Department of Transportation in Austin by day. By night, she's a Celtic fiddler (http://www.fiddlista.com/). My brother and I expressed interest in hearing her play if she had a gig. So she kindly invited four of her fellow Celtic musicians to join her at BD Riley's in order to entertain us, the other customers, and themselves. This was essentially a jam session that they held at the pub. They were quite good.
