Heading to Galway, Ann had mentioned wanting to enjoy a session in one of Galway’s pubs. On our second night, after a fantastic dinner with a close friend at Black Rock Cottage, we drove back into Galway City Center and followed a line of music to a pub called the Dew Drop Inn. It was packed, but Ann shepherded Arjun inside, squeezing through a crowd that had gathered to listen to seven musicians playing song after song, pausing between each for a break and a few sips of their drink. It was great fun. As the songs proceeded, Arjun was offered a seat up front and Ann and her friend found seats at the bar. I clicked a few pictures to capture the special moment.

Ann and I committed to trying to catch more sessions in NYC. I have already started researching that and found MurphGuide.com, which shared information about daily sessions in Manhattan.
