*whistle* *stamp* *cheer*

That was a speech that people's kids will be learning about in the years to come.

I have tears in my eyes.

Go America.

Most seen live band

A while back I said:

that's the seventh or eighth time I've seen Fairport: for certain once on the In Reel Time tour, twice on the Five Seasons tour, once acoustic in a church in Oxfordshire, once supporting Tull, once last year, and last night. I *think* I also saw them on the Red And Gold tour. Makes them my most seen band (outside of SF/filk conventions), followed by Rumours Of Fleetwood Mac (5) and then the Mac themselves (4).

Figured it was time to recalculate: interestingly, I THINK it's still Fairport, but I've now seen Show Of Hands five times (High Barn, RAH, Telford, Londogs Birthday Party, Ely), and it'll be six by the end of the month (Cambridge Junction - tickets still available I believe, the_magician and keristor). If you count Phil Beer+Miranda Sykes at Cambridge Acoustic Roots, that'll be seven :) Of course, if you're doing that, I should count the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band twice :)
