The Crooked Road to Dublin.

It's on a number of recordings and is a fairly popular session tune.

Yeah, truly awesome discipline. He's got a new musical surprise just about every time I see him. Beautiful piping, Tom.

Get well soon Liam.

I kind of took the words "musical heritage" to mean something rather different: not who your parents were, but who you learned your music from, whereyou learned it, and with whom you've played it over the years. In that sense, yes, my musical (not familial) heritage is extremely important ...

Thanks for the Sean McKiernan link. Very, very moving, and extremely well-deserved.

Definitely a class event and fun for all. Karen and I had a blast, so many, many thanks to Tom Klein, Patrick Maun, Pat McCormack, Jode and Kate Dowling, Tom Dahill, Patrick Cole (and Cecelia, too!), Danielle and Ana, Skip, Ivan, PD, No E, Jamie, and everyone else who made the weekend so memorable. ...

What an exciting opportunity! These are gonna go very quickly...
