Rebecca has such a gift for song – both in writing and in singing. I’m privileged to hear it every day, in the snippets and snatches of tunes she sings to our little boy. Now I finally caught her live at a coffee house we recently attended! The video was a little choppy, so I have tossed in a bunch of our pictures to set a nice “celtic mood” So…. here she sings! Enjoy!

I just heard today that earlier this month, Tommy Makem, whose music and poems fired up a love for Ireland in me, my brother Sean, and countless others, passed away beyond the Green Hills. May he rest in God’s Mercy and Love. Thanks, Tommy, for the music and the memories you’ve given me!
Sean, if you’re reading this, I think we should raise a pint next weekend for the Bard of Armagh! Read the tributes on Liam Clancy’s message board here.
“I’ve a fine, felt hat
And a strong pair of brogues
I have rosin in my pocket for my bow
O my fiddle strings are new
And I’ve learned a tune or two
So I’m well prepared to ramble and must go….”
