Thx, golden, for figuring out the Nebelhorn archives! I went looking for Brooklee Han's exhibition, and gave up, because the videos were not marked correctly; I did not know that they had done that with Jason's vid as well.
Interesting (and I believe there have been theads about this), how our personal taste in music can color our appreciation. What I am going to say is just my opinion, I don't mean to start disputes about taste in music! But I quite agree with you about "Irish" or "Celtic" music in general (and I say this as some of completely Celtic (Scottish/Irish/Cornish) descent); I would rather listen to a dentist's drill than this genre. Yet Jason and Riverdance: instant
I also cannot abide most country or bluegrass (much of it is derived from Celtic music, after all.). That version of cotton-eyed Joe. Instant :scowl: Maybe someday Jason will sell it to me, but it is not instant love like Riverdance. And the audio from that Nebelhorn feed; is it just me, or is it tinny?
Finally, I was born and raised in Philadelphia in the 60s and 70s. (don't remember much of the 50s). As such, rhythm n blues, soul, blues: that's the music I feel and that touches my heart. It looks like I may be the only one here who just loves "Juke" on its own, but when Jason hits Chicago, with lots of other folks in their 50s who grew up with this music, I think (maybe just hoping) that they will go wild.
And God help me, I am beginning to like the suspenderography!
