Greetings Lady Jean,

The fact that I "happen" to be an African American shouldn't keep me from broadening my horizons. That's why I'm going to see Seamus play {sing?} tomorrow..My school teacher daughter is going with me-
she also 'happens' to be African American.

A girlfriend is also going with us who happends to be White-but what "kind of White" I don't know..She has heard Irish music before and she said I am in for a treat.

I have attended various international festivals in Pittsburgh, though not lately.

I agree with you that much of this county [with a population of something like 12% African American] is polarized or at least racially distant..Like alot of the USA, I'm sad to say.

Now if we could only get more people of color to actively post on Mudcat...
