Irish Musicians Performing at Sweetwater Saturday March 14th 2009
Q: What do you get when you throw together a half-dozen fiddlers, assorted guitars, a penny whistle or two, flutes, dulcimers, string bass, mandolins, and bodhrans (Irish drums), and sprinkle with a liberal dose of Guinness?
A: Tiki O’Riley!
On Saturday, March 14th from 9:30 to 12:30 the Sweetwater Local Foods Market welcomed Tiki O’Riley, a loose-knit group of West Michigan musicians who play Irish “session” music – traditional tunes often played in Irish pubs.
Their “performances” are generally run as inclusive, informal open sessions where anyone can join in.
“Irish music brought us together as friends,” said Tiki “Ringleader” Bobbi Sabine, of Grand Haven, a fiddler.
“We met out at Fenian’s Pub in Conklin, playing the Wednesday night sessions there, and have developed great friendships.
None of us are professional musicians, but we have great fun playing together – what the Irish call craic, meaning a good time.”
Songs are traditional Irish, old time, bluegrass, polkas, folk type music, including instrumentals and singing.

Valentine’s Day Sweet Sounds!
In Harmony!
We had Murial’s Kitchen – Thom, Wyatt, and the Sorensons along with Jo Ann, Bill, Donna and Jeff on backup. 
We had Ginger from Rythym Wranglers. 
We had not one, but two bass fiddlers!
The music began with a fine rendition of the Star Spangled Banner on the musical saw – I always see a few misty eyes in the crowd when the Reverend Don performs this. 
These wonderful traditionalist musicians are fast becoming part of our Sweetwater family!
Playing the Olde Time Tunes we all love! 
Sweet pickin’ on Valentine’s Day!
What a voice!
Beautiful music!
“I’ll Fly Away…..!”
Too bad you don’t have any fun!
We are leaving for Ohio and Kentucky tomorrow. Back April 4.
