My roomate will be picking me up a copy in Milltown next week. I can't wait to get it. She's going at Willie week and not in Catskills? Her loss! :D (Oh, my goodness! What in the world?, you flying to Hartford on saturday? will probably leave Montreal on the sunday) No, the other roomate. The banjo...

It's quite hard to pick up the flute and play like paddy carty if you're playing in a session with modern sounding players and guitar accompaniment. The musicians have t...

Thanks Tyg!

Bump!

you mean Shameless Ego? David, That's a pretty harsh thing to say about someone.

If you are going to label Seamus Egan as &q...
