4 of the 5 photos, on the "Products" page, are of sets I made. Weird and unethical.

Paddy sometimes references my Paddy Keenan story on stage. I am afraid that if I related it here, he will stop referencing it. He was quite taken with (what was then) the world's largest free standing wooden chair (24 feet tall, I think) in Gardner, MA. He mentioned getting up there with the pipes f...

C Natural Key.....

My first forray into Irish Trad Guitar
I heard the news a few days ago. I am only getting around to comment now, that I will certainly miss the Guitar genius of Micheal O'Dohmnaill. Even more I will miss that brilliantly controlled voice on "The Death of Queen Jane" and "Casiagh an t'Gaighn" May he rest in peace. Inte...
