Wizard Rock at Mount Kisco!

[mary_j_59]

Okay - I have to post this, even though some might think Wizard Rock old news. My sister hosted a fantastic concert at the Mount Kisco Library on Friday - everyone played well, we got a great crowd, and everyone had a blast. Audience members were of all ages, from a couple of elderly ladies who must have been near 70, to a couple of barely school-age children. The bands were the Gringotts Grrls (that's my sister amd I;)); Fred and George; Snidget (she plays hammered dulcimer, and does it very well); Swish and Flick (who were wonderful, as usual - the sounds they can produce are amazing, and they are very funny and clever); and the headliners, Justin Finch Fletchley and the Sugar Quills, and the Whomping Willows. Altogether, it was a blast, and everyone was smiling. Which, I think, is the main point of Wizard Rock. Wiil try to link to some media (pics and audio) later.

Sounds like fun :)

Oh, it was. Someone said, "It was like a party."

Sounds great! I had wondered what the Gringotts Grrls were doing . . .

Well - Deirdre's moving on to other things and other books, actually. She sang (for the second time in performance) her tune for Hilaire Belloc's "The Microbe" on Friday, and her latest is the "Invocation to Hephestia" from Whalen Turner's Queen of Attolia. You can listen to it here:

(She wrote the tune when she was nine!)

Sounds great - although as the sound on my old PC (ORAC) is a bit dodgy now, I really need to listen to it on Snowball to do it justice!

Even better on Snowball!
