A group devoted to the discussion and learning of Irish Traditional Music.
As I read your article, it inspired me to read about the Scotch-Irish. I went to wikipedia and learned about the bitter and unpleasant history between the Scots and the Irish. It makes me wonder how some things may be better forgotten. In spite of...

- About Me:
- I enjoy music as a hobby, and doing creative things with other folks. I like Celtic music, and learning tunes on my guitars and my 6 string banjo.
Music is a way for me to challenge my mind, satisfy my soul, and hopefully, make friends.
By trade I am an ornamental restoration artisan, and I spend many hours alone, doing a tedious, yet rewarding work. My personal escape is to enjoy the two things I can't enjoy when working alone: good tunes and good folks.

- Tony,
Just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed playing with you in the session on Saturday. Hope to see you again the next time I visit family in Franklin.

Hi Tony. I've got a few in mind. I'll probably lean more towards old time tunes, since the
Irish stuff seems well covered by Gretchen and company. I can teach Irish tunes also if
that's what people want to learn. Here are some tunes which might be fun to play. I plan
to teach by ear, a phrase at a time, but can supply notation and tab also if folks prefer.
Campbell's Farewell to Red Gap
Kansas Waltz
Kiss Me Waltz
Nail That Catfish
Ora Lee
Shove The Pigs Foot
Mairi's Wedding (...an Irish tune, I think...)
Suggestions are welcome. -Kirk

- Tony,
Thanks for the kind words. Hope you and your wife do get a chance to make it out. As you can see from the Myspace site we've got a couple of McCreary's gigs coming up. Looks like our St. Patrick's day gig is out of town this year; we're going up to Lexington, I think. A little road trip should be fun.

I don't guess we've officially met but I've been meaning to chat with you about your 6 string banjo. Is that a GoldTone? I like how you use that on Celtic tunes.
Cheers,
KK

Most of us play our accoustic guitars at the jam sessions here.
But I was just wondering how many of you also own and play electric guitars. What kind? And what amp do you have? Tell us about it.
As for me, I have a 1979 Gibson ES-175D, an arche...
