Mick O'Brien uses his Rowsome all over "May Morning Dew", if I'm not mistaken, and it sounds mighty. All factors in play, 7k is a very fair price for this set.

Bush and Cheney love to hear that line about how there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats.....if you like the job they've been doing, keep spreading it around.

Valencia Harbour, Ennis style.

Don't be influenced too much by the blowhard melodrama that tends to surround Uilleann pipes--that's just something pipers like to keep in circulation to get girls interested in them. Really, they're like anything else, musical or otherwise--to be really good takes lots of time and energy, and if sp...

Oh, sorry, I get it now..."jab' is an acronym for "joke, absent badinage". My mistake. And I promise to work on not taking language and knowledge so seriously.

Reread the post? Is that kind of like when Don Rickles apologizes at the end of his act?

Peter, why not succumb to Ms. Ward's entreaties? Maine is lovely, despite the crazy level of tourism--and, as an Irishman, you'll be used to that anyway. Make it a double threat, bring that pipemaker friend of yours back, too.

Once again, Royce, absolutely hilarious. This kind of cutting-edge repartee should really be shopped out to, say, Adam Sandler or maybe Carrot Top.

That's some funny, funny stuff. I feel so small.
