RE: [Harp-L] That Irish Stuff



Ol' Steve Shaw is a mighty blower of the jig and reel, himself! Thanks for the kind words, Steve....right back at ya, my English harp-bro! Yeah, these days with all the babies running around the house, I barely have time to lurk, not to mention posting!

Wow...Kinsella, Powers, and Epping...that's an Irish harp attack, alright! To this day,one of the most amazing things I've ever heard, is Rick Epping blowing neck-rack harp and playing concertina simultaneously. During a tune, you'll hear him do a bunch of things such as: both instruments playing melody, harp chords/concertina melody, concertina chords/harp melody, harmony lines from both, harp drones, concertina drones.......amazing!

By the way, if any harpers are ever in Chicago, come down to the Atlantic Bar and Grill, 5062 N. Lincoln, on Sundays for a traditional Irish music session.

cheers,
James

Glad to see there are a few more Irish music lurkers on the list beside
myself.
Triple Harp Bypass (Brendan Power, Mick Kinsella and Rick Epping) are not to
be missed when they come together and come to town.
Their CD of the same name is also worth listening to.
To attend the Willie Clancy Summer School and get tuition from Mick Kinsella
and Rick Epping is Harmonica Heaven.

Formidable indeed. And also not forgetting James Conway, a mighty player of Irish, who occasionally comes out of lurk mode hereabouts!
