Performing Tam O'Shanter

A couple of Fridays ago I went to an open mike night and performed Tam O`Shanter, to a non Scottish audience. Any other I have performed this piece in public it has been at a Burns night. It was an interesting experience, and the crowd seemed to be suitably impressed that I could remember such a behemoth of a piece. A week later someone came up to me and complimented me, so it must have stuck in the minds of a few.

20 year AA medallion

I just wanted to share with you all the fact that Saturday January 26th was my 20 year AA medallion. It was a wonderful evening full of old and new friends. I will not soon forget it. I could not have done this without the help of both those who came before me and the newcomers, so it was great to have so many people there, I brought 3 cakes and it was all gone by the end of the night. The photo was taken by a friend who sobered up the same day as me, I am wearing orange glasses as they help filter out light from florescent bulbs that aggravate migraines.
