I play hammer dulcimer and fiddle in various Irish rock and folk bands in Maryland. Before rediscovering my Irish roots, I played in various R&R bands, then created an Irish/R&B band where I used all of Steve Croppers licks in rocked-up jigs and reels and pub songs. We were hot stuff in the bar scene for awhile, but now the baton has passed on to other rock/Irish acts.
I'm now a 4th year Irish fiddle student with a goal of playing for dances.
I like sessions, but I get restless after the first hour and want to hear songs, with harmonies.
I check the Sessions at least weekly and I really appreciate Jeremy's tune commentaries. Thanks Jeremy, if you're out there.
