Ooh, sounds great, but I have a running commitment on weds. nights @ the moment.

But I am starting Comhaltas classes for Traditional Irish Fiddle tomorrow Sat 1/31/09 with Oishin McAuley of Danú so, I'm psyched!

Do keep us posted on how it turns out for ya... BTW The Irish Cultural Center in Canton, has a running Seisiún, if you want to hear some great Traditional Music being played. It's on Friday nights in the center's pub.

I'm so jealous of you!! I'd love to learn to play Irish fiddle music. When I was a teenager, I played the violin... haven't touched it in over a decade!! That's one way to get the thing back in my hands...

Where is the Seisiun?? I'd be up for it!!
