Comment on Irish Music by Anne Roos

Great list of guidelines!

My comments:

1. I’d add that a session is for people to share songs and should not be dominated by one or two players. It’s more fun when everyone has a turn to share a song that they know, even beginners.

2. I agree that sheet music is strongly discouraged at most sessions, and so are some big instruments (like the harp or double bass), so folks like me who like to refer to chord charts and play big instruments should ask whether we are welcome before showing up. It’s a major bummer to attend a session where there’s no room for our instrument.

3. In response to the last comment, the music is most certainly for an audience to enjoy, otherwise, of course we would get together in someone’s home instead.

Cheers,
Anne

Hi,

I was just visiting Asheville and wondered what ever happened to you – thanks to the internet I know! It’s still a wonderful life for you I am happy to see. Nice tunes – who new that Irish music would be your bag, you introduced me to Bluegrass way back when on Giles street. Best regards,

Your old pal Kate!

Thanks for the update on the starter! I’m glad our quirky little guide did the trick.

Sorry that you had trouble finding my other site! That’s at http://www.someguyinnevada.com. I do need to merge the two sites at some point.

I came back to comment and thank you for the how-to article with pictures of replacing a Tundra starter, but can no longer find it. I had estimates from $600 to $800, most of it labor due the inaccessiblity of the starter. My son and I, not mechanics but not lost using a wrench, fixed it in 2 and 1/2 hours (plus $69 to fix the starter) using your guide. Thank you again, and I hope you bring it back for others to use..

If this music is not for an audience, then why do you:

1. Play in a public place?
2. Solicit tips from the audience?

Their money is good, but not much else?

This is inconsistent at best.

I don’t know much about worms. I’d probably jump if I see one. But yeah, I think they’re good used as fertilizers. Great read!

Comment on Woman kills four, gets probation by Shelley Andrews

My heart goes out the Calevro family. My best friend’s brother, Patrick Smith (State of CT) was killed by a another diabetic driver, Wilfred J. Lebeau (State of CT). Lebeau was neglectful like Miley and he had ZERO excuses, the morning of December 5, 2007 that Lebaeau KILLED Patrick. It is coming up on 2 years and Patrick is still missed everyday. Lebeau was NEVER charged for anything even though he killed Patrick and admitted to the police he neglected to take care of his diabetes. He self medicated when he felt like it, he didn’t eat that morning, he didn’t test, didn’t take his insulin and was out drinking the night before the 6:14AM murder. The State of CT is and has continued to be neglectful of Patrick’s case. Justice for Patrick!! http://www.raaid.org
