In spite of the threat of a winter storm we headed into Seattle to see the Chieftains perform with the Seattle Symphony.  This was the third time I’ve seen the famous Irish band and what a wonderful performance it was.  What’s better than world-class musicians playing great tunes accompanied by a symphony (Seattle Symphony), pipers (Keith Highlanders Pipe Band), a chorus (Northwest Boychoir), a traditional Scottish singer (Alyth McCormack)  and beautiful fair-skinned lasses (especially the incomparable Cara Butler) tapping out an array of Celtic dances?
