Hey Ben, thanks for adding me. I'm glad to see that someone else is interested in both Dave Rovics and Irish Rebel music, haha. Heart goes out to you, even if I can't listen to your music 'cos my internet is lame. <3

That Irish band you play with is pretty good! Do you play any Paganini solos during their shows? Now that would be cool.
