When Kansas City met Denise Irving McNally. Denise goes way back in Irish Dancing in Kansas City, and is a noted performer of both Irish and Scottish dancing. Now, when the Irish pipe group that was started back in the 80's dissolved, I was left with a set of pipes, and so, somehow it came to be that those pipes were passed on to David, the son of Denise, and he did a fine job with them too ! (A much finer time they had with him, than if they had stayed with me, quietly hung on the wall ! How did that old saying go....(The Pipes that once through Taras Halls the soul of music shed, now lie as mute on Taras walls - as if that soul had fled....). So it was a good thing that these pipes fled to David - you betcha ! And now Denise has taken pity on all of us regular old folks who could not stand competition pressure, and she leads a dance group right to this day, for the rest of us - and thats a good thing. By the way, The "Missouri Irish Book" is out and being stocked by Sheehans Irish Imports in Westport; The Celtic Ranch in Weston; and by the Kansas City Store. You can't beat that at all. And of course I have it on our web page. There is a lot of history there from the 1800's that people aren;t really aware of, and I've given it an update for this 2007 edition. I am also adding to our web page, with illustrations and even Irish Songs from Missouri, the songs of course sung by none other than Peter Reilly Adams - who has no equal in this community. So be sure to take a look at that here soon.
