**K** illed, the Chieftains did in their concert today. Allison Moorer was great too, singing with them. My ticket win was made even better when I picked up the tickets and discovered not only that the tickets were worth $72 each, but that they had also provided backstage passes for the after concert reception. Got to meet Paddy Moloney and the rest of the group, there was a nice spread of food too. All due to the happenstance of filling out a contest entry slip at lunchtime Friday. _Insert own luck of the Irish comment here._ Cheers. ---
