Sara Watkins - "Whiskey Before Breakfast"

Sara Watkins @ Southgate House in Newport Kentucky 10-11-09. Sorry about all the chatter before the song, but I thought it was entertaining. Sara seemed to be in a great mood and was chatting it up with the crowd quite a bit. She was very funny, gracious and pretty much rocked it out. BTW, that is her brother Sean on the geetar!

She's a great fiddle player and has a beautiful voice as well.

@dancraggs Well it is the truth, Irish music is all fiddle tunes. Nickle Creek wasn''t Traditional Bluegrass. At best they was New grass. It is not being naive. It is the truth.

@bluegrasssingingman Here, take this naive comment of the day award.

@dancraggs Irish music is fiddle tunes.

@bluegrasssingingman Not all drinking songs are fiddle tunes? Some have lyrics?

[bluegrasssingingman]

@dancraggs Irish drinking tunes are fiddle tunes. Irish music is fiddle tunes. What are you talking about?

@bluegrasssingingman Also, Sara does many of her own songs. Since when is doing interpretations of music you love a bad thing?!

[pccbassbone]

@bluegrasssingingman Fiddle tunes can't be Bluegrass? Also, who cares?

[dancraggs]

@bluegrasssingingman Well actually it was an Irish drinking song before it became a fiddle classic.

And, bitter much?
