A very fun Irish trad tune! This is a rough cut that I think sounds pretty good. It's got all instruments together all throughout the song, the way it might be played at a session.

I'm still around :) not much time for recording lately, but I did take my little harp out by the pond a couple of weeks ago. You hear a little waterfall, the breeze, and some birdsong in the background. Pretty lovely setting for a pretty lovely…

An in-progress tune I started playing today on my new old harp. Sounds pretty good even just as it is; but I'm imagining it with some light percussion, a little violin, and maybe a guitar? We'll see how it goes.

I wanted to record a version of this lovely traditional East Coast Canada / USA tune. It's been done many times, in different ways, with variations on the lyrics. I've leaned on Solas's and Stan Rogers's versions, and added a verse of my own…

Pat Bondi here at Alonetone does a great and quite different version of this folk song entitled Maiden on the Shore, so I dug into my demo archives and found this version that I recorded long ago. Long before the Internet, I used to listen…

Great version! Always loved this song. I sing a musically quite different version, but I think I like your rendition better, Pat!

I'll Tell Me Ma is a folk song in the Irish tradition. I recorded it with acoustic instruments, multiple vocal tracks, and spoons for the main percussion, to give it that kitchen party feel! I did it in the key of C. Not exactly normal, but…
