Irish setup where everybody takes O'Neill as the bible and nothing ever gets formally added to it.
That statement is utterly ridiculous Jack.

Well, what DOES the Irish scene have that's comparable to the mountainous accumulation of small tunebooks I was talking about?

For the most part Irish music buffs will say they learned a tune (if it's not in O'Neill) orally or they got it off the Internet. Where does it work differently?
