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 point, I can see I'm way out of my league musically-
some of you seem to be professional or at least semi-pro in the study
and performance of traditional music forms, whereas I'm just an amateur/
hobby/ acoustic musician who draws heavily on irish, traditional and
early music for inspiration. I may throw some You-Tube links out later
for my music, if ya'll promise not to scream, "You Suck!" but in the
meantime it's inspiring just to hear some of you talking a bit about
your take on music - what it means to you on the different levels it
reaches us all at! Thanks!

traditional Irish music for over 27yrs. I have a 6 piece band short 1
but that's besides the point I'm a singer song writer currently working
on putting an album together. 2nd weekend in Aug. we are having a music
festival here. I don't drink anymore but I do like to share in stories.
As a boy I grew up in SCOTLAND and moved around alot, if you wish we
could share in song and friendship an extended handshake awaits you.

amazing! I'm not part of a band and pretty much keep to the old style of
Irish singing--solo and unaccompanied. And, since there's not a lot of
call for the old stuff, I perform maybe once a year or so, although I'm
very active in several folk song circles here in Portland, Oregon, and I
sing every day, (mostly to myself), and enjoy it hugely.

the Irish Arts week in Durham, NY, so I might be able to drop in for a
day and we could hoist a few brews and sing a few songs!
