Music Box: O'Malley marches back to Annapolis

It's always good to have a backup plan when you're in politics for the long haul. A secondary skill could come in handy when the pendulum swings the other way.

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley may have lost his bid for the American presidency (for now), but he'll avoid the unemployment line as he awaits word on Hillary Clinton's pick for running mate by getting a few gigs for his Celtic rock band O'Malley's March.

Not all politicians can play guitar and sing at a high level, but for O'Malley with a ring of righteous talent surrounding him and a few pints of encouragement (Guinness), the agenda at Rams Head On Stage for this Friday night is set (two shows, 6:30 & 9:30pm).

O'Malley's March features harper/piper and storyteller Jared Denhard (who also blows the bone), drummer Jamie Wilson, fiddler Jim Eagan (a protégé of Brendan Mulvihill, and third place finisher in the All Ireland music competition in 1996), multi-instrumentalist Ralph Reinoldi (who also plays mandolin, bouzouki and guitar), with noted accordion player Sean McComiskey and bassist Pete Miller.

This pitiful guy is what Mr. Trump would call a loser.

Once a loser always a loser. Didn't know he was still alive.

It's kind of like being at a party and the guy no one likes leaves and everyone is saying, "Thank God Steve left". Then Steve walks back in and says his car wont start and he needs to wait an hour for a ride. Then everything is just awkward and uncomfortable.
