Beautiful Furniture and The Elders
Catherine Sherman has a nice blogpost of some length and affection on The Elders and Ian Byrne in particular, documenting a 20-year relationship:
Twenty years ago my husband handed me a flyer he’d found on a bulletin board in a Martin City, Missouri, barbecue joint.
“Maybe this guy can make some tables for us,” he said. We’d wanted a couple of oak tables to match a pair we already owned.
“Sure,” I said. ”Call him.”
And that’s how we met Ian Byrne, furniture maker extraordinaire but even now more widely known as the lead singer of the contemporary Irish-American band “The Elders”. It’s been fun ever since.
