does anyone have any musical pet loves,or favourite music.
I love americans who sit quietly,appreciate traditional music listen, applaud,and then tip generously.
Concertinas,but not in large numbers.
Bach,The Irish Harp,and Nightingales song.

Someone whom you normally hear singing in a public setting just sitting and singing like there's no one else around. I once heard Liam O' Maonlai (sp?) of Hothouse Flowers sing the Lord's Prayer in Irish, sitting with him on the floor in the hallway of a Clarion hotel at 3 in the morning.

Concertina players who sound like the Velvet Undergound - which is most of the good ones when they build up a head of steam. It sends me into a state of almost hallucinatory bliss.

No word of a lie.

The last set of the night (or of the festival) when the performers have finished playing their entire set list and start to improvise.
