For those who relish the flavor of Ireland and Scotland in music, this musical evening was a rare treat.

Terry McCoy, vocalist and mistress of whistles flutes and the bodran and guitar master and vocalist, Dave Millen, transformed the Rowing Club into ancient Ireland and Scotland for an evening of pure delight. Terry's absolutely beautiful soprano voice enchanted and captivated us, and her spirited renditions of many familiar Irish tunes were sung in the Irish tongue. Dave Millen's humor and skill of accompaniment made the evening seem an evening of play for all. As far as we were concerned the enchantment is permanent.

In February of 1992 while working as a radio traffic reporter, Paul Gerardi was flying in a small aircraft that was hit by another small plane. As he watched the other plane approach, there was a timeless space where he thought his physical life was to end. Even though there was a mid-air collision and both planes landed safely, he was forever changed. Following the crash he began to sing and write songs that bring joy to his life and the lives of others. A sunny evening allowed for an outdoor set of uplifting songs that were occasionally interrupted by the calling of eagles and the summer sounds of the Seldovia Slough. True beauty abounded!! Paul and his family now live in Florida, but travel to many interesting places to practice their arts of guitar, crafts and Reiki.
