Cherish the Ladies

Ok, today I got a rare treat (seeing the time, yesterday I got a treat) because me and the wife went to SaltLake and saw the Utah Symphony with Keith Lockhart and Guest Artists "Cherish the Ladies".
Wow, it was a Celtic theme and was brilliant. As for Keith Lockheart, well he is a conductor and while I think that conductors just stand there alot (maybe Zaia can set me straight) the symphony was wonderful. The guest artists were a bonus and played with the symphony. Their singer was awesome (in the original context of awesome) and the use of penny flutes was magical.
We got to hear such wonderful tunes as "Fir and Far Medley", "Homesteaders", and "The Ballad of the Foxhunter" which is a Yeates thing and was sung by their singer. Alot of this was just instramental but when the singer cut in....WOAH....
Also in the mix was "Castle of Dromore" and "Danny Boy", man what a night. True that I had to dress up in a monkey suit for it, but to be honest, I don't mind. I enjoyed my self completely. (So na.)
Any hoo, has anyone heard these "Cherish the Ladies"?
