pearse

I am a novice Irish fiddle player, but an experienced guitar player (40 years). I live in Texas and I am determined to master ITM on the fiddle before I leave this earthly plane. I am a lawyer who practiced trial law for 20 years, and then switched careers to work as a school administrator for handicapped students. My son plays circles around me on the violin, but I can't get him to play ITM. He is a huge Pogues, Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphy fan. Ah, youth! My brother, a policeman in New Jersey, plays the pipes quite well. My youngest brother is a beyond excellent guitar player.
