Hi! I'm not really a newcomer, but could stand a wee pint and a bit of craic myself.

I'm from the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and play fiddle,guitar, sing and write in a Celtic/Bluegrass band. I see Lonesome EJ, whom I've had the pleasure to meet face to face. "Hi, EJ!"

Oh, I brought a plate of brownies. Is that alright? They're good with dark beers, especially Guinness.

I'm married to my bodhran player, whom I'll refer to as Himself. I have two wonderful daughters, a dog, a cat, and all the little beasties that live under our house.

Anybody ready to do some pickin'? I always am.

I met Jed Marum here, who plays banjo, guitar, a restrung Martin backpacker, sings and writes. Neat guy. Hope he pops in a little later.

Welcome all; let's do some singing and playing now.
