For nostalgics
Well, a bit of punk from where I live, a group much admired in my house, revolutionary

The Dark side of the
Wizard of Oz.
40M albums and countingâŚ
Seem to be on a blues kick at work this weekend.
Thank you so much for putting up the Corrsâ concert @ozo. You legend! I was born in Oz but the rest of the family tree on my fatherâs side goes back to the Mother Country (Ireland). My dear olâ Maâs from Scotland so a good (?) mix there. Just something in me that whenever I hear me some Irish music I just get all emotional. Man Iâm nearly tearing up now writing this Yeah, the Corrsâ ainât traditional but when ya get that fiddle, whistle and drum (bodhrĂĄn) sound happening well itâs almost the same. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
No animals were harmed in the making of thisâŚclassic. heehee
My family is mainly Scots, but my Dad was an immigrant
from Scotland to Australia, via his parents.
I am dual citizenship AU and US, as my mum was American.
I have more family [alive] in OZ than I do in the US.
Nothing beats the Temple Bar Trad FestâŚand a visit to Oliver St John Gogartys
Irish Trad fits in perfectly here in the Nashville area, especially with the Bluegrass
all through these hills. We even have some awesome hybrid Bluegrass/Irish Trad
bands that you would think had been here forever.
And if you think that is strange, my weapon of choice is a saxophoneâŚbet you
never thought that could work in bluegrass OR Irish Trad, but we do it all the time.
Pub crawlinâ ? Try this one on, eh?
Nightwish (symphonic metal) - anything from the live gigs with Floor Jansen singing. Wacken 2013, Wembley 2016, are both good and Floor is a vocal marvel.
Listening to Steve Hackett playing some of the Genesis stuff as well (trying to learn Hairless Heart and Firth of Fifth).
Is this like the Coke vs Pepsi debate? I think notâŚ
Tarja Turunen forever!!!
