Meeting and posing with Kozo Kusumoto, guitarist and synthesizerist of LITE after the show at DC9 Nightclub. It was great to speak with him in Japanese. He is so humble and kind to sign my album and take time with me after an exhausting, dynamic and great set.

With Nobuyuki Takeda (guitarist) of LITE after autographing the band's sixth vinyl release, Multiple for me after the band's killer show at DC9 Nightclub, Saturday, October 26, 2019. Nobu is a consummate gentleman and the band's undisputed leader and spokesman. I have the deepest respect for him as a lead guitar virtuoso as well as for mustering up a little English to communicate with the overall anglophone audience (takes a lot of courage to do, but so important interculturally) and for greeting the fans right after finishing his set. Nobu plays with an explosive energy on stage.

In Tune With My Hibernian Roots: Craig Donovan at the New York Irish Brigade Monument and Atop Devil's Den in Gettysburg National Military Park, Gettysburg , PA, Sunday, August 18, 2019
Took two days away while working on new songs for my new album and went up to Gettysburg to explore the battlefield and this historic town. Here I am at the New York Irish Brigade Monument, honoring the sacrifices of the 69th, 63rd and 88th infantry regiment to preserve the Union and which were composed mainly of Irish-Americans.
The full-size monument with the iconic Celtic cross. On the front of the cross is an ornate bronze ornamented by a 2nd Corps trefoil, the numbers of the three New York regiments, the Seal of the State of New York, and a harp flanked by eagles. At the foot of the cross lies a lifesized Irish wolfhound, symbol of honor and fidelity. The monument was dedicated on July 2nd, 1888 and sculpted by a Confederate soldier who fought at the battle who wanted to remember the bravery of his Irish brethren and camrades in arms.

One of the many fine equestrian statues on the battlefield. This one is of Union Major General John Sedgwick mounted on his horse from Connecticut.
Lover of horses and all things equestrian. Stopped to see one of the smaller monuments to the First Massachusetts Cavalry and their horses who served at Gettysburg.
