Abby,

Thank you!

You are right about sean nos having a rebirth. I think it is also having an influence on artists that aren't strict "by the book" sean nos singers, such as Cathie Ryan. Cathie was lucky to have learned directly from Joe and his influence is so evident in her music. Sean nos is so much more than just the way a song is sung, it is really learning the song and putting forth the feeling behind the words.

I'm so glad that everyone liked this show. I feel it is important that more people, especially those not involved with Irish music, learn of Joe's story and his approach to music. It is a lesson for anyone interested in folk music of any kind!
