Last Night at Riverdance


Well, I promised you last night in my Brain and Music blog that I would let you know how I liked Riverdance. As I expected, I loved it!

The haunting melodies, played on ancient Irish instruments, the fantastic dancing and the audience interaction combine to provide an evening of sheer and total jubilation. This was at least the third time I had seen it, not to mention that I own a videotape of the show. It changes just a little bit each year but it never fails to exhilerate me and make me want to learn more about Celtic and other ancient Irish music. Yes, Cash is an Irish name but it is my married name. Nevertheless, I must have some Irish blood or DNA in me or I don't think I would respond so powerfully to these melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. What about you? Do you like Riverdance?
