New #review today: "In 1973, mandolinist #SimonMayor saw the Irish group #Planxty in concert. Planxty played a couple of #TurloughOCarolan pieces, and Simon was hooked. 50 years later, Simon brought his love of Carolan’s music to fruition, deciding to go beyond mere harmonization by using varying tempos, key, and mode changes, and the harmonic sequences as the starting point for extemporization." #ExposeOnline #IrishMusic #FolkMusic #mandolin http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/simon-mayor-carolan-6.html

So as it's St. Patrick's Day, and I see a certain Boston band (that I can't feckin' stand) trending on the bird app… let's say I "reacted." (My reaction was "They're shite!")

If you want to celebrate the day with great Irish music, it should go something like this -- it doesn't get any better.

I was at one of these shows. The #Planxty show I saw at Vicar Street in Dublin in February of 2004 was the greatest musical experience of my life, a show I had literally waited half my life to see. #IrishMusic https://youtu.be/Nt4ySrsBBSQ
