Lady A is commonly known as the CD wench for Orckes & Trolles. She's uncommonly known for a whole lot more...

FRAYED CELTIC KNOT AT STARRY NIGHT
by Lady Ampersand, All-around Busy Wench

Calling All Musicians & Singers:

NEW IRISH JAM!

That’s right. There’s a new place to jam. Chuck of Starry Night Gourmet Coffee and Cuisine in Johnston is setting aside the fourth Tuesday of the month for Frayed Celtic Knot. This will be an Irish Jam session for musicians of all skills and instruments. Singers are welcome too!

If you have read Field Guide to the Irish Music Session by Barry Foy, fear not: ALL instruments are welcome. Players of all abilities are welcome. All singers are welcome. Because the evening is called “Frayed Celtic Knot” the usual rules are out and our own rules are in. Perhaps it would best to say Untraditional Traditional Music.

Now that you have an idea as to what we are about, here is a little bit about where. Starry Night is located at 5955 Merle Hay Road in Johnston. Take Merle Hay Road north, go under the interstate and about 1 or 2 miles later, look on the east side of the street. When you see the strip mall with H&R Block, be prepared to turn into that mall. Starry Night is located in the middle of the mall. If those directions are too vague for you, go to Chuck’s web site at and see if his are any better.

You will also find his menu. My personal favorite is “Lefse;” I don’t what country it is traditional to, but I’m tempted to move there! The desserts are awesome too! Try the scones! You don’t know what a scone is? Doesn’t matter; you’ll like this tasty treat. Remember Mom’s Pineapple Upside Down Cake? You’ll think you’re home. And the Frozen Mocha... nummy. I guess I should mention the coffee and tea... First, Jasmine Tea - it tastes as good as it smells. The coffee - well - Chuck makes the basics and they are great. But one of my favorites is an “Albino Something-or-Other” (yeah, I can’t remember the name) that is not on the regular menu, but he’ll know what you are talking about. And he has an awesome Chai. One last note: I’ve been to many coffee shops; this one actually has good biscotti!

If you know someone who would be interested in participating, drop them a line and send them here to ATF. If you are interested in participating yourself, click here and let your interest be known. OK listeners too, Chuck does want a vague idea of how many will be invading his establishment to make music.
While garb for this event is optional, Lady A. as assistant hostess of this event, will sport a new frock and invites the rest of you to do the same for atmosphere.

Keep in mind that Chuck has invited ATF and all Ren Folke to invade any time, and if we do a good job of attending Frayed Celtic Knot, he is willing to give us a Rennie night for “Faire Music and Such” so we can warm up for next season. More on that later.

SO...if you haven’t clicked here it’s time to do so. Can’t wait to see you there.

Lady &

P.S. There is one rule. Tip the Barista. Tip a little, tip a lot, just don’t tip over!
