Sunday, March 18, 2001In honor of St. Patrick's Day (which I realize was yesterday), I'd like to announce, without a twinge of embarrassment, that I am a huge fan of Irish music. It all began when I heard the song "Lover of Light," the second song off the second release of world music band Afrocelt Sound System. I call them a "world music" band, because I don't know what else to call them. The song "Lover of Light" combines traditional Celtic pipe music with African drums and a techno beat. Believe you me, it's worth a listen. Anyway, so that planted the interest in Irish music. And recently, I've been hearing all this super Irish music on the radio because they do these great Celtic music shows on WFUV, a local NPR station broadcast on 90.7 here in NY. Anyway, so that's me and my little Irish confessional. I didn't even mention my minor obsession with Riverdance or my soft spot for Irish accents! |
