It is neat that you got to hear them sing.

A great post. I could smell and feel and see and hear the scene in the bar. Very nice.

I'm sorry you missed your friend, but what an experience in the bar.

It would be rare to hear folks singing old ballads and tunes in this area - they'd all be busy in pointless circular arguments about politics. The one who sang the last few words in a solo: maybe he had a direct connection to the one the song was about. I could almost feel the air in that place, see the jackets draped over the backs of chairs. Thanks for this one. :)

How sad to go all that way and to be disappointed. You must be resilient,  I suppose it was a kind of compensation to listen to the fellow countrymen although with an aching heart.
