Terrific.
I totally agree about the Chieftains. I saw them 'way back in the late 70's, I think, on Saturday Night Live and was instantly and totally hooked on this music.

Hard to know! This is a grand bit of playing...So many folk on utube tell people how to play...sadly we rarely hear them give a demo!
