I Love My City!

Too much entertainment. Too little time. It is not possible to enjoy every entertainment possibility that is happening right now in Traverse City, Michigan. Last night I went to the Inside Out Gallery to enjoy the April Verch Band. She is one very talented woman. She can dance, sing and play the fiddle at the same time. Her husband is an awesome percussionist. Such talent and energy. They played Appalachian, Celtic, Bluegrass, Old Time and Ottowa Valley music.

This afternoon, I am going to Union Street Station to watch Beoga. I have not seen them before, but here is one review: “A heady, virtually head-spinning, sonic blend stamping Beoga as perhaps the most audacious Irish band rooted in trad today” The Irish Echo



The newly remodeled State Theater is featuring the Irish movie "Once". I may go see that in the evening. Song of the Lakes is playing at Kilkenny's. While that is tempting, I will wait and see them for free at the library 3:00 PM on St. Patrick's day.

On St. Patrick's Day Out and Beyond is playing at Kilkenny's from 3 - 6PM followed by Song of the Lakes. The Ruby John Band is playing at Bench Warmers in Maple City. I am taking my guitar to a house party and celebrating quietly.

You would probably think this is all the entertainment one would need for a few days. Well, you are wrong. Who could pass up an opportunity to experience Little Feat at the newly renovated City Opera House on Tuesday the 18th.

Yes, I plan on getting some work done this week also. I am finishing up my Realtor's Code of Ethics curriculum in order to be ready to teach it in May. I will also be scheduling my real estate continuing education classes for summer and fall and writing curriculum for some specialty continuing ed courses for the local Association of Realtors.
