Like you said, if you and I were to turn on some Wolfe Tones for a sing along, our peers would probably laugh at us.<br />Yet, my non-Irish friends in the states love listening the music, which suggests is DOES have great value for its music quality beyond the nostalgia.<br />As someone who can't really contribute to the music world given my lack of instrumental ability, I plan on continuing the traditions of playing and signing along with the trad music just like our parents did - and maybe, just maybe, this is how it will continue.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12872837615131033285noreply@blogger.com
