I live in San Francisco and my "local" is the Plough & Stars Pub. I've been hosting and attending sessions there since 1988. I'm completely obsessed with ITM but I haven't a clue why... except that it's great music.
If you want to know any more... I have a website at: http://www.TipsyHouse.com
Here's some mp3 files of me playing:
Concertina: Eel In The Sink / Limerick Lasses http://www.tipsyhouse.com/Eels.mp3
Fiddle: Dale Russ
Guitar: Junji Shirota
recorded in 1998
Flute: The Road to Garrison / John Kelly's / John Brady's http://www.tipsyhouse.com/tunes/godfather.mp3
Fiddle: Kevin Bernhagen
Guitar: Richard Mandel
recorded in 2004

The band was featured on an NPR program called, The California Report, in a spot titled, "An Irish Music Postcard" that features us playing for set dancers at the local pub and it has me playing whistle and talking shite at one of the sessions. Here's the link.
