Casey - sound like you and your brother need to be the Irish Music Missionaries for Eugene!Somewhat of an envious situation, I think.
I live in Orlando and there's little in the way of Irish Music here - Even on St. Pat's the Irish pubs don't play Irish music. I usually hit one or two open mikes a week and spread the word.
And Tin F. is one of my definate crowd pleasers.
