Great Big Sea & Special Guest at the Shamrock Festival |

Great Big Sea was joined for the final encore Saturday evening by a special guest, wearing jeans and a Black Rabbitohs jacket. He took the binder out of his hair as he came on stage to sing a beautiful version of "Folsom Prison" (whilst swinging that beautiful hair a lot) and was then joined by the Great Big Sea guys and the Carbon Leaf guys in singing lots of versions of "Molly Malone".

I am kicking myself black and blue!!! I decided not to go because I didn't feel like braving the traffic and the crowds. I had even thought that RC might stop by and I even figured that was possibly why Murph was away for the weekend but the thought never crossed my mind that he might perform. Crap!!! Crap, crap, crap!!!!
I'm glad you were there, Carol!...jealous as h*ll but still glad for you. Ali ![]() Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts.

I can assure you that I stayed on the fringe of the crowd myself. And there was no water! You could get all the beer you ever wanted, but I had to sweet talk the on-duty EMT guys for water.
It was wonderful! I know at least one person who got FPB in its entirety on her cell phone? And the GBS fans were (almost) as blown away as I was! Carol ![]() |

Carol!! You lucky, lucky girl! I hope you're not worse for wear and tear today? That sounds like a lot of standing even hanging onto a fence. Sooo happy you were there and can tell us about it. So - was there any chit chat? Did he interact with the other guys at all? Was he in fine voice? *happy sigh* I hope this is a sign he intends to keep performing musically.

Thanks, Carol. I have to say I got a little thrill when I heard Russell was up on stage singing again.

hi Carol | ||

I heard from Steph about the AC GBS gig and that you were going to DC too. Lucky lady!!
Yeah, the rock&roll hair is in full bloom! Come on, big Russ - put those TOFOG guys to work! Hopefully he made some 'new' fans with this appearance. Once, always, Russell Crowe "beauty...delight...passion" "Crowes presence in 3:10 to Yuma is a magnet drawing in every co-star and viewer. Hes John Wayne, Orson Welles and Marlon Brando wrapped in a whisky drawl. This is his best work since Cinderella Man and most memorable role since Gladiator. |

Hey, Carol, you lucky, lucky thing. I am so happy for you, and I know you'll excuse me while I slip away to go totally pea-green with envy for a while.
Good to hear that your spare parts seem to be working fine, bionic woman. |
