Athbhliain Faoi Mhaise Daoibh!

Happy New Year, in other words.

Memory is a weird thing--I just decided to try singing a French song that I've not sung in a good five years, and got through it only messing up one line. I don't think I'll sing it at tonight's gig, all the same, but I wasn't expecting that.

Well, I'm a bloke in my thirties and I live on the East Coast of the US. I play Irish traditional music, sing (mostly unaccompanied, although I'd not call myself a sean nós singer), and write science fiction, fantasy, and non-fiction. I've been known to dabble in whittling and lutherie as well. I recently got my MA in a field I prefer not to disclose here, as there's some things I'd rather not share with people such as employers.

All comments are gratefully accepted, but if you're expecting a meaningful answer I'd recommend you write in either Irish, English, Scots, or French, as those are the only languages I really understand.
