Let's practice safe sessions, everyone!Pursuant to the current alarms regarding the potential threat posed by
Avian Flu, it is a
little known fact that the virus can manifest in a variety of different
forms. A recent
memo from Washington D.C. branch of Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann raised
concern over the possibility of contamination of the tune repertoire
that could start pandemic and devastate the musical tradition. It is
therefore recommended that all tunes with avian references be avoided at
sessions and performances until further studies can be completed.
Banned tunes include those such as Jenny’s Chickens, Bird in the Bush,
Leg of the Duck, Skylark, Pigeon on the Gate and many more. Responsible
musicians are asked to search and
delete such tunes from their repertoire until further notice.

There is a particularly dangerous one I recall;
May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose
I am reminded of the funny situation involving ducks and influenza. It seemed some researchers wanted to find the connection that duck hunting seemed to have with the rapid spread of new influenza stains among duck hunters. They kept doing nasal swabs of ducks and not finding the virus. Someone realized that perhaps they were swabbing the wrong part of the duck. They found the virus when the tried swabbing the other end of the duck.
