This next song, though just a clip of the end of their performance, should get your toe tapping. Or as Bang says, “My foot’s singing a little bit.”
This group performed at our local, free, outdoor concert this past Sunday evening. It wasn’t raining when it started, but it sure was by the end. They played on. They were that good that most everyone stayed, sitting in the rain, to listen.
The boys and I went to sit in the front row to get some video. Naturally the phone died so I didn’t get any that way. Towards the I remember I could get video with DW’s camera, but I had to be careful because of the rain. I managed to get a clip from the end of their performance. It’s not much, but it will give you a taste of toe tapping tunes we were tantalised by.
Their Celtic stuff was my favorite. However, that’s not all they played. They did some ragtime, some country western, some French and a few other genres.
If you’ve never heard of the Leahys, they are an extremely musical, extremely talented family. The Next Generation Leahys are thereby no different. These home-schooled kids are all brothers and sisters ranging in age from 5-14. They were such a joy to watch. After the show we bought their album and were lucky enough to get all six kids along with Mom and Dad to sign it. You can visit their page at The Next Generation Leahy. It’s 35 seconds that’s sure put a smile on your face and song in your toes! Happy listening!
That was pretty awesome and a fabulous way to get the morning going, thank you!

They must have a natural talent for music and learn from each other. Wonderful that they can do something they enjoy and give joy to others.

The Leahys have been known for their music for many generations. So there is an abundance of natural talent. The rest they learn from each other and from others. They do take lessons with other musicians.

I used to be on the playing side rather than the dancing side…

I played the clarinet, then added the alto and tenor saxes, and then the bass clarinet in college (I started out as a music major). After I got out of the military, I started playing guitar and then piano.
