Jeepers, off to work for a day and look what happens, I get called 'confrontational'. Who ME, confrontational? What are ya gonna do about it sukka??   Actually Jim, I thought you might enjoy a little 'confrontation', as these forums sometimes get a little 'dry' and it never hurts to inject a little emotion into the mix. At least a few people seemed to 'get it' (except michaelr). Most people really dont care whether the music is 'authentic Irish' or not, as long as they are entertained, and CW is quite entertaining actually. Those looking for 'authentic' Irish music (whatever that means) will probably look elsewhere. Maybe to something a little 'lower key' and with less 'polish'.(like artbrooks said earlier). But hey, those who like pretty ladies who can sing with the best of them, along with a talented band and drummers, and a fiddle player that kicks butt, along with loads of 'bling' will probably enjoy CW. The rest will probably find what they need at their local Irish Pub (along with the other 10 patrons that night.) :)
