The blog that cried content

My apologies to the feeders out there who actually thought I was posting new content earlier this morning. Just me fiddling with the blog trying to figure out how to set up some categories. I think I got the jist of it!!

While I'm writing, Donnybrook did play a pretty darn good show this weekend with the McNulty School of Irish Dance at the Schauer Center for Performing Arts in Hartford, WI. It's a concert we put on combining some of Donnybrook's typical pub stuff, with a few things more suitable to the theatre setting, all intertwined with the McNulty dancers spinning and jumping around us. If Socknitter or anyone else sends any pictures of the event my way (hint, hint) I'll post 'em here.

We're doing another one of these this coming Saturday in Spencer, WI, if you happen to be in the area.

see ya soon,

Thanks to those of you who pointed out you could not leave a post. I've changed the settings so that shouldn't be a problem. Just choose 'other' or 'anonymous' in the comments page. Thanks.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. My name's Andy Young and I'm a hammered dulcimer player in Chicago. I mostly play Traditional Irish and Quebecois music. I also perform on Irish flute, tin whistle, and guitar/vocal. You can check out my music website at www.andyyoungmusic.com.

I have a couple goals for this blog. One is to keep friends and folk music fans abreast on my comings and goings, musically speaking. The other is to offer a place to share some of my knowledge about playing the hammered dulcimer to other players. I certainly don't claim to be the end all player, but in the spirit of the digital-aural tradition I thought it would be a good thing to pass on what I've learned.

I also kind of hope this becomes a place for me to receive some feedback on performances and generate interesting dialogue about traditional music, the hammered dulcimer and other things.

Thanks for stopping by.
