Yes, there are some significant differences, on multiple levels. There
will probably be about 10 messages pointing out differences and
similarities.. The one that I want to point out is that Irish music
doesn't have Strathspeys.. To me Strathspeys are very important to
Scottish traditional music. I think I probably play about 40% strathspeys.
