Wow. Nice reel (even if it's named after a lathe -- I am intrigued by the shop-vac idea, though!). All those are really nicely put together and nicely played. Have to get you to play the South Bend next time I'm up there.
Nice, nice. I hope you guys had as much gum making music as the music is fun to listen to!
Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…
you read my descriptions and you're still asking me if I know the name of that tune? Haha...I'm pretty sure I got it from you! Galtee Rangers might be one of them...

Man, brings back some nice memories (except for Dugger's snoring)...I always thought you guys had some great arrangements. I miss you playing the pipes, I don't miss me playing the pipes.

Just great stuff... I have that tendency from time to time to forget that music is a performance art, and that there's really nothing like live music. Thanks, Kirk, for putting this up!

The coda of this was recorded on my mp3 player while waiting for a train. At some point I had this idea that there would be ambient noise recorded from train or bus stations every few songs so it'd sort of feel like you were listening to the whole…

So there I was, trying hard to complete a big production that I've been working on for ages, and I was getting nowhere. In frustration I started composing this little thing, and it quickly evolved into a nice piece of music all of its own. Funny…
I wrote this one a few year's back when my daughter was 6 years old. I finally recorded it and uploaded it to her MP3 player for her 12th birthday this year.
As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…
Seems a shame to finish those cabinets. Put doors on them and the wife will just fill them with dishes and useless stuff like food for the kids! They're such great instruments.

Old music library track. I recorded this with a cheap Yamaha keyboard my step-father gave me. Wish I would have add little more to the repeat of the melody, but I think I…

I believe this is a traditional tune, but I'm not sure. I learned it from uilleann piper Seamus Ennis or Liam O'Flynn (or both).

Another song from the archive... Written about a friend who somehow seemed to come out of her general sad manner... Thoughts go back to a lunar eclipse when the girl I was standing next to to watch it (way back in college) disappeared from sight…
The last track that I'm going to upload for a while. I will be re-recording a few songs to release a LP under my own name. Hopefully it'll be good :)
This one is another exploration using loops and delays. I hope you like it!

That must have been one hella lathe. Awesome performance.
I hate autocorrect. Insert "fun" for "gum," I think.
Wow. Nice reel (even if it's named after a lathe -- I am intrigued by the shop-vac idea, though!). All those are really nicely put together and nicely played. Have to get you to play the South Bend next time I'm up there. Nice, nice. I hope you guys had as much gum making music as the music is fun to listen to!

I always loved that last tune...
whether one likes this genre or not, that is certainly a very entertaining song, in its most musical sense. bravo!
crackin' set and yes that closer is a firey* arrangement - nice one! the adjective of fire?
Man, brings back some nice memories (except for Dugger's snoring)...I always thought you guys had some great arrangements. I miss you playing the pipes, I don't miss me playing the pipes.
Damn, this song is just plain beautiful... Everything I hope I can be someday as a guitarist (and know that I never will). Incredible stuff, Kirk!
Just more incredible stuff!
Just great stuff... I have that tendency from time to time to forget that music is a performance art, and that there's really nothing like live music. Thanks, Kirk, for putting this up!
That, my friend, was freakin' awesome! You are one talented sumgum!!!

Sweet Baby J. Great stuff!

Beautiful! Great sounding mix as well!
Nice! Great guitar tone on this one!
Sweet song man!
Builds slowly, but by 4 minutes I was hooked! Great work!

Really lovely stuff Doug!
Quite a trip. Very Nice!
Damn! They did have lovely tones! I gotta download some of your stuff to jam to. Is that a bottle of Guinness on the shelf? Good man yourself!
Great rhythm and chord changes!
