Sky Kelsey, Fiddler

sky_kelsey_thumb.jpgWe went to the Anchorage Market & Festival to shop the touristy booths and buy knick knacks and such. I got all shopped out in an hour or so, and then I heard the music. Irish fiddle, and very well played. Very, very well played.

After a half hour or so he took a break and I went over to chat.

What's your name?

Sky Kelsey.

You're very good.

Oh, thanks. This is the first I've played in three weeks.

You play very, very well. Have you heard of Martin Hayes?

Oh, yes! I love Martin Hayes.

Well, you sound a lot like him.

Wow. Thank you.
