Cherish the Ladies!!!








OH MY GOSH! Last night was the greatest! I got to see my favorite group in the whole entire wide world at the Cerritos Performing Arts Center, Cherish the Ladies. They are a traditional Irish folk group that I have loved for more than a decade. I used to torture my family by blaring their cd's. They all loved it, even if they deny it to your face :) My proof? Justin even came with us last night! We had so much fun. I think Lynette and Justin were surprised at my enthusiasm in the car, at dinner, throughout the whole show, hehe. Jeff, well he knows how much I adore them. He took me to my first concert of theirs 11 years ago. It has become a tradition to see them when they are within driving distance. Last night was the first time however, that I actually got to meet Joannie, the leader of the group and a world renowned whistle and flute player. She is incredible to listen to and she is really hilarious with all of her commentary between songs. They are doing an Irish Celebration cruise the first week of February to the Caribbean. She told me to email her and she would get us the family discount. She said we looked like cousins! She was too cool! I only wish I could afford to go :( Anywho, it was a super fun and amazing night. Hopefully the others got something out of it as well. If nothing else they got a good laugh at the crazy woman with red scarfs wrapped around her head, red converse shoes, gray formal dress, and crocheted sweater. She was a trip. She was a guest singer and was pretty hilarious. Too bad I couldn't get a picture of her :) Until next time Ladies, I will continue to listen to your cd's at obnoxious levels!
