Tommy and Maggie
Another video for you: This is a set of two reels, Tommy Peoples’ and Drowsy Maggie. When we first started playing these, they were just stuck on the end of another tune to fill it out, but they really started taking on a life of their own so we made them a separate set. This set is among our favorites from this season. The ending is really tricky rhythmically. Watch Ben the Guitar Animal get it just right. (Don’t worry– the sound starts several seconds before the video.)
By the way, The Demerits won Best Campus Entertainment at Elliv last night. Second year in a row. Does anyone have video of the acceptance speech? Linda was not there and wants to see it. For you who saw it, I should give appropriate credit to an episode of The Office in which Dwight gives a speech more or less in the manner of Mussolini. He was my inspiration. Also thanks to Dr. Carl Ruby for playing along so beautifully.
