I'd love to hear this show, but I get an "XML syntax error" when I click on that link. Does that happen to you too?

No.
I got straight in but I don't have time to listen to it now. Looks good though...

Slan,
D.

I have no luck getting .smil files to play, either. But if you wait a few days, RTÉ will save the file in the Late Session archives (under programme listings) as a .ram file, and these I am able to play with any version of Real software.

Jaysus, Mary and holy St. Joseph - that Elliott Grasso can bring it, can't he?

I like how Aine pronounces it - "MARY-land".

Alright! I downloaded the new version of Real player, and it works for me now.

Yeah, Elliot can really play! However, I think I could have used more cowbell...

By the way, doesn't it look like my cowbell guy and the piper are playing a
nice waltz? I just imagine them playing a tasteful rendition of Si Bheag Si Mhor...

Hey Dirk!
Where have you been hiding?

Hi Brian!
I ocassionally get down to the Snug sessions - I was there earlier tonight.
But, you know what it's like with little ones...
Do you think you and I might find a time for some tunes and reed-making soon?
Did ya get my email? I have a new email address:

Great piping. What would make it really stand out is some more imaginative backing rhthyms...not that the backing isn't already great, but it's time people started paying more attention to backing instruments as well rather than the straight-down-the-line 4/4 strumming. More cross-rhythms, syncopation, emulation of Rowsome-esque regulator playing (is the verb 'regulation'?). Just a thought rather than a criticism..after all, the last thing I can do is play good rhythm

Cheers,

DavidG
