in early 1991 I met Sharon Shannon at a 3 day Irish music fest at Fort Mason in San Francisco. She played and I was slayed. After her set I had her sign the LP (her first) and talked to her for awhile. I asked if she wanted to have a smoke and see the sunset....amazingly she said sure....so we wandered out to the end of the pier on SF Bay and rolled up a smoke, the sunset was amazing as it dropped beneath the Golden Gate Bridge...
Finally I told her to just talk as I was tripped out her Irish lilt....she said we could both talk at once as she liked my American accent as well.
She was very shy when she played but was an amazing squeezebox artist, I told her she was the Jimi Hendrix of her instrument....later years I read interviews and she talked about a guy in San Francisco that called her the JH of the squeezebox..
Here she is in 1992....a smile to die for...various tunes/There are some great jams including Mike Scott of the Waterboys and you can hear Sharon talk too..
