Subject: RE: Help: Irish music/Ithica NY
Try the Cornell Folksong club by contacting Phill Shapiro at WVBR in Ithaca. Phill runs a radio show called The Commons every sunday nite from ,I think, Annabelle Taylor Hall. Been doing live folk on that show for at least 25 years, John Roberts and Tony Barrand got their beginnings in Ithaca and on Phill's show.

I have played the sessions at The Limerick many times and I find them to be great fun and very irritating at the same time. Thi is an istrrumental bunch and as soon as someone starts to sing, the musicians can't find the toilets quick enough.

"Yes ma'am I've heard real Irish music, and its all instrumental"
