man, that's beautiful. Thanks for posting Keanie...

I definitely believe there's a link between African and Irish trad music, although I've never been able to find anything to back that up, just listening to the harmonic and rhythmic structures used by both types of music. I think that there are harmonies that are unique to West African and Irish (and maybe bluegrass) music. There's a connection there.

Also, I love Paddy Keenan. I chose one of his slow waltzes for my wedding procession.
