Well, I have to admit to everyone that I’ve always loved the rain. Although now, I’ve developed a slight dislike for the wet dreary stuff!! I never have pictured rain to cause such a crimp on my plans!!! As the newest member of the band, I’ve heard all kinds of stories relating to past fairs and have really been looking forward to playing the fair since I heard we were coming back this year. None of the stories though involved Moses building an ark! I don’t really expect we’ll have to float away, but at times it has felt like that! Luckily we haven’t lost an entire day due to the weather, but the past 3 days have been interesting to say the least.
 
Yesterday (Tuesday) the 2:00 set was the only one that didn’t happen. But one cool positive that happened as a result of mother nature, was we did get to hang with our good friends Bo, Jim and Randy from Lone Star 92.5FM. They have been huge supporters of the band for years, and yesterday came out to record the show. While we weren’t able to give ‘em a show…we did end up hanging backstage for a good half-hour and did an impromptu interview with them. It was way cool, and very fun. These guys are super cool, and you should check out their show “Bo & Jim Mornings” every weekday from 5:30 – 10:00am.
 
Today (Wednesday) started off with the 1st set getting rained out, but boy the crowd was ready to go on the 2nd set when the rain stopped!! Everyone was excited from the first downbeat of Tim’s drums! They even sat there patiently watching us set up gear and were still anticipating what we would do when we started! Talk about dedication. It truly left me speechless. I think everyone was ready to snub they’re noses at the rain and say they were going to have a great time anyway. They truly did! That’s the kind of response that makes what we do truly worth it!!
 
With all the weather issues we’ve had this week, we still have had a great time with everyone around. We’ve even had some EMS people help us pull gear when the rain started to come down. We truly thank them all.
 
To the fans: As the newbe to the band, I still am impressed how much you all really care and love what we do!!! Thank you all from the bottom of all of our hearts for your love and support. It’s one of the biggest reasons why The Killdares do what we do…… For you!!!
 
What’s that? Is that the sun I see?
