While Nancy was struggling with knowledge gap at the Trivia Night, Brian and Carol were kicked back at the SOLD OUT concert at the Algonquin Theatre in Huntsville.
On stage? Natalie MacMaster, and her husband Donnel Leahy. Oh... and we should mention it was the debut performance of their three year old daughter on stage as well.
And what a performance they gave. Brian is still shaking his head over the fiddle performances, particularly when Donnell Leahy gets into high gear. With the light behind him, you could see smoke coming off the bow... strings breaking and flapping about. From time to time he'd pause to snap those broken strings away before diving right back in.
Natalie is always a joy as an entertainer, and there is something completely endearing about the fact that she would occasionally leave the stage to care for their new baby.
Between them, this couple has two children and fifteen fiddles. We're told there is a story behind each one of them.
If you've been living out past Jupiter lately, and have not been privileged to listen to their music, be sure to drop by both Natalie's website, and the Leahy family site, and give a little listen.
These musicians are smokin'
