Day 39

Merry Christmas folks! We made it! Through rain, sleet and snow and then picking up our children we continued on to Glace Bay, Cape Breton. Our reunion with family, relatives and close friends has only just begun.

Traveling from the east to the west and back again; The Barra MacNeils brought a little bit of Christmas to everyone, one day at a time. We hope we made a few people happy. That’s all we can really ask for. At a time when people are busier than ever, it’s nice to give everyone a chance to reflect on their family, friends, and loved ones. It is truly a magical time of year.
We would like to thank all of our families for sharing us with our fans. We love you all. We would also like to thank our adopted brother Jamie Gatti, our solid playing man and for good times as well. Thanks to Donnie MacNeil for keeping the show sounding great and making sure we made it to the gig on time… And let’s not forget Vinnie MacNeil (the other Kyle MacNeil on the tour) for your selling skills (and let’s not forget the dance moves).
Now we will put our feet up for a while and enjoy the holiday. Maybe someone will make Cabbage Rolls or even RUMCake !! God Bless and Best Wishes in 2011.
