Ron and all, Joe Heaney and others who sang (and sing) sean nós are such an inspiration to me, I really appreciate the memories posted here and the program you've made available. I keep on singing solo and unaccompanied, most of the time, even though I get "flack" for not having instuments backing me up. I just prefer it, and can't turn my back on it, even though I know it isn't "popular" and that I am swimming against the tide.
