Hello, everyone! Other than singing, I play guitar, Irish flute,
rennaisance recorder, pennywhistle, piano, congas and african hand
drums (roped goatskin ashiko and djembe). Um, sorry, didn't mean to
post a resume-lol. But I found the group while looking for lyrics to
some Irish sheet music I just got, and figured if you folks sing Irish
music you can't be half bad! I look forward to hearing what everyone
has to say, hopefully I'll have the chance to both pick up and give out
some tips and insights about the music we love!

Here's a little about me. The first sean nos song I heard, about 23 years ago, reached out and grabbed me and hasn't let go! Until then I had been sort of a...
Hi, David, Nice intro. It's my opinion that creative people are creative in many different ways, so it isn't unusual for singers and musicians, to be visual...

Welcome, Drew. This listserv has generally been moribund this last year (or maybe more), so I don't know what kind of response you'll get. I'm still here...
It's good to know that you found out about Sean-nós Milwaukee from this listserve. I'm glad you came and I hope to see you next year! Brían Ó hAirt. ... ...
Thanks for the warm welcomes! Moribund, you say? lol- I know a way to change that! Although in reality, I wouldn't expect such a specific group as Sean-nos...
I've only used an instrument to find a note if I'm a)singing accompanied or b)know my range is limited and must sing in that key in order to hit my notes. ...
Sean-nos as opposed to trad style- hmmm. I could tell you how much of an expert I am on the subject, and wind up making a fool of myself, but instead I'll be...
Thanks for that. I'm always interested with singers' first impressions of sean-nós. I'm not proposing that I know all of the answers so that's why I asked...
Oh my heavens! Brian. Not these sorts of arguments. I know you honor and participate in the tradition in a deep and lively way, but looking at it this way is...
Ah Brian, sorry to have come across as argumentative. I think of the word argument more in its academic sense: presenting positions and supporting arguments,...
i have been pondering this for some time now. i have been with several bands over the past few years being a singer songwriter i have found that the most...

That's odd, two David Ingersons! Perhaps I should have steered the conversation in the direction of Irish language songs. David from the West Coast, USA, yes,...
Hi there, Dave Ingerson, Irish singer! Sorry for how late I'm replying. Life sure gets busy sometimes. And then I got a sore throat and pretty sick just for...
Hello DAVE, Its DAVE, yes it is true I have been playing and preforming traditional Irish music for over 27yrs. I have a 6 piece band short 1 but that's...
See! Someone mentioned postings being lackadasical lately (actually, moribund I believe was the word chosen), I said I could change that, lol! But to the...
Two David Ingersons singing sean nos! How wild is that! Just a few personal comments on the music... Singing the songs has been a part of my life, even though ...
When you use the term sean-nos are you talking about songs in the Irish language or songs in the English language from Ireland? What songs do you sing in the...
Hey Drew, don't worry about your skill or knowledge level. What counts is your enjoyment level. Besides, each of us is at our own level of knowledge or skill...

Well put David. You've a very interesting perspective on the tradition. I find the term sean-nós to be a singing STYLE nearly exclusive to native speakers of...

Hey Brian, Thanks for your well-thought-out definition. You've obviously put a lot of thought and care into your ideas. Defining a term like sean nos reminds...
I'm no so much splitting hairs as I am diseminating a family tree. My aunt Margie is a sister to my mom but I'm not a product of my Aunt Margie. A singer's...
OK, Brian. You have won me over. That's not easy to do, mind you. Your telling arguments, to my mind, were two: one cultural-political and one linguistic. ...
