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.

This is a love song for Idaho. Funny thing is I've never even been to Idaho, but I dreamed the chorus and the happy little riff some years ago, and it's stuck with me ever since. So, I filled it in with some verses and an outro that capture the…

Great instrumental, Pat. I used to play a First Nations version for the kids at our local library.

Great harp, Pat. Will be looking forward to hearing more of this wonderful instrument!
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…
