Anita goes to concerts

Anita's Music Adventures

Gibson L-48

We went to Elderly Instruments in order to have them rebuild my grandad's Gibson L-48 archtop acoustic guitar.
I wish that I could play it like he did.

The next show that I went to was at Goshen College in Indiana to see Tim O'Brien with The Crossing. For this tour, the line up (from left to right) was John Williams, Liz Carroll, Karan Casey, Tim, Dirk Powell and John Doyle. (sorry for the fuzzy picture)

Here's John Doyle at the jam after the show.
John is my favorite musician.

This was the first time that we got to meet
Karan Casey from Ireland.

My brother is such a pest

I took this of Karan Casey at the Chicago Gaelic fest

Audrey is sooo cool!

Anita's Music Adventures
The first show that I ever attended was an in-store performance by Tim O'Brien and Darrell Scott at Elderly Instruments in Lansing, Michigan. Tim O'Brien is the guy on the left. In the middle that's Darrell Scott, Even if you've never heard of them, these guys are great.
