No, it isn't a mean word. I love Bill Whelan's music...I have all the song lyrics and monologues memorized...I could care less about the dancers looks, but that percussion is awesome to listen to on the car stereo. I can tap out "Rolling Thunder" completely, I know all the rhythms. Yes, and I like Lord of The Dance too. Not because of Michael Flatley, but just the overall thing. Love to play "Siamsa" on my fiddle. Hey, I told you I ain't no folkie!
