This pic was taken outside of Black Hawk College's gym (Bldg 3) back on April 4, 2009. Last gig played with Lewis on bass before he left for the Bay Area. A tremendously talented musician and lifelong friend of mine. Lew's in the front row on the far left (without a hat on) sittin' next to John Kinser (bodhran and percussionist), that's me next to John. The back row has Heather (my oldest daughter) on the left, she plays spoons, sings, and is workin' up the concertina, and Pat Oliver who plays pennywhistle, fiddle, mandolin, and sings, also. It's a fun combination for Fire In The Belly. It was a crazy gig that day. I wouldn't want to be soundman for such an event. We played for 15 minutes and he had to setup mics and get us mixed in the first tune. There was no room in the schedule for setup. And yet, he did a remarkable job!
