Happy Birthday Sarah!

My friend, Sarah had her birthday a couple of weeks ago, but I've had some problems with this post and haven't been able to finish it until now.

Carol and Jim hosted a party at their home, the oldest building in Nome, and what used to be the Discovery Saloon. I love parties at their house because you can always count on music. Sarah was sung Happy Birthday with accordian music played by Carol. And later, Carl, Phil, Sarah, Nikki, and Bridie played guitar and sang songs together and individually. There is a ton of talent between these folks, as you'll soon see.


Here are a few video clips I thought you'd enjoy. These clips came from my camera and hardly do justice to these artists, but I think you can still get the feeling. As you will see the background noise and lighting were not within my control, but please take the time to let these videos load and then listen to how beautiful these voices are. (What a bummer. . . after loading these, I see that they really didn't turn out very well at all. You can't really see the people, but you can still hear the music. . . enjoy!)

Sarah is really talented and has actually recorded 3 albums. You can learn more about her and her music at her website

Bridie on the other hand has yet to record an album, but desperately needs to (in my opinion and in everyone's opinion who's ever heard her music). She is outstanding! Here she is with Owen and Wayne's youngest son, Joe.



Sarah, thanks for sharing your day with us. . .

(I also got the video to load in the post "a night at the beach" in case you're interested)
