Have a great St Patricks Day with a Guinness or 3. Here's some oldies. Didn't know any Irish Blues!
Its already Thursday 17th here in Oz but still a bit early for the Guinness.

Hey Aussie have you seen the film 'lord of the dance' in 3D with Michael Flateley? My wife dragged me to the film this afternoon, but I was converted, fantastic dancing and music from Dublin..

If it comes your way, it's great Irish stuff..lovely playing by the way man

Very nice concept, Aussie--no beatbox--no foot drums--no looping--very nice--I hope this catches on a bit!

Thanks guys.
@harmonicanick
Have not seen Lord of The Dance. But will make sure we catch it when it comes our way.
@Oldwailer
I have a footdrum but have discovered I can't do 2 things at once. Anyway the mozzies were bad and they had me dancing out of time.

Have you started young Gussow on the harp yet? Great age 5 so I guess just starting school? We have 6 grandchildren and now all are older than 5 but are still great fun.

Thanks for the nice comments all.

A little tardy on this, but here is my tribute to my Irish heritage. It's also the first Irish trad. tune that I've learned on harmonica. Played in Am on a G Paddy Richter-tuned harp (third position). Comments welcome.

I like the tune and I think you played it well. I like O'carolans music some of which which I became familiar with at the Harmonica Academy.
