I don’t regret a thing.
A song comes from the silence as a meditate. The words “Laoghaire Ní Sidhe” pop into my heart. I don’t know what the words mean, but a song forms. That’s how music appears these days.
Glenswilly.
I asked my ancestors to write a song through me. This one is a song of goodbye to the young man who left Glenswilly and came to America to create a new life and the family I am a part of today. Glenswilly’s not a place so easilly left behind.
Originals and traditionals.
How the songs seem to seamlessly blend for me, telling the story of the Irish American past and present.
