December Slow Sesh Tonight

Hi gang, hope to see you tonight at Old Songs. (If you signed up for notifications through the blog, it was yesterday. Sorry.)

I'm excited that you have Irish traditional tunes you want to learn, and you're welcome to bring them. My favorites are often the ones from the West of Ireland, where I visit on a regular basis. Here's a perfect example of the lilting kind of music that generates from Clare/Galway/Mayo. Dymphna was a friend of ours, and a master of exactly this type of lilting lovely music. Her beauty and talent are sadly gone too soon, but fortunately we have videos like this to remember her by.
