Cafezee in Ennis

hello from a small soon-to-be-closing-for-the-day internet cafe in the town of Ennis in County Clare, Ireland. it is almost 10pm here on wednesday night and it is still light outside. it has been raining off and all day...good for sleeping. i heard a wonderful lunchtime concert across the alley from our hotel (the Temple Gate Hotel) at the Clare Museum this afternoon.     it is a part of the Riches of Clare concert series. and the coincidence is... the bouzuki player was from Japan. and i met Eoin O'Neill. i just heard him play on sunday night at Brogan's with about 7 or 8 other musicians. he had a gig in Doolin tonite which is too far to walk : ) i walked about 4 hours on sunday after arriving in Ireland on my first trip last saturday thru monday. tonikaku, time to go find another live "session". i should be returning home to LA tomorrow night (thursday) and then i will be off for a week. i thought i was flying back to Shannon next week but i am scheduled to fly to Glasgow, Scotland twice.
