I've decided that in the future I am going to rove surreptitiosly around the Press Room so I can get closer to the folks I am taping to avoid that dahn white noise problem.

As an aside, when we start the singing sessions in Portland at the Irish Cultural Center, I am going to see what I can do to insure a quiet background for singers to be heard.

The songs I sang were: NANCY BELL and THERE'S A PATH ACROSS THE OCEAN from the singing of Robbie McMahon, BONNY BUNCH OF ROSES which was mostly from Seamus Ennis, BEAN PHÁIDÍN from Joe Heaney, Seán 'ac Dhonnchadh and Johnny Mháirtín Learaí, my own composition which I call WILLIAM PRINCE OF CUMBERLAND which shares the tune of THE ROCKS OF BAWN.
