Another CD arrived yesterday, a Rounder compilation of 1920s recordings of trad. Irish musicians. I was surprised how similar the music is to today--I'm not used to folk music that isn't polluted by jazz and rock :-) Nat

That looks great (and it pointed me to The Black Cat Theory, a banjo band I will watch), but it's too far away. As I'm sure you'll agree, the flight between California and London is one that you want to make as few times as possible. However, Dublin is closer. Dublin, Ohio that is. http://www.dublinirishfestival.org/ It has some bands I've heard of (Altan, Cherish the Ladies, Martin Dennis) and might be a lot of fun. Downside is that it's Ohio :-) Nat
