Sean - I'm excited that you and 'the lads' got together broke bread sang kumbaya and resolved that you would do the album.
I've been enjoying JSD music, Des's music and your music so, I think that maybe I could have an "exclusive" on the JSD Band Reunion maybe? Maybe play some music, interview all of you'se guys and such. hahahahaaha.
Seriously - I'm happy for all of you.
I dont know if 10 yrs between this upcoming record and your next can be allowed.
I say ROCK OUT on a few songs.
And, is there a "cap" on the length of comments in someone's comment space?
Dear Sean Thank you so much for inviting me to become a MySpace friend. I have loved the Chieftains ever since I remember, so we have something in common, there! You are obviously a man of many instruments. The tracks on your page are beautifully done. It is a downright pleasure to make your acquaintance, Sir! All the very best, Donna
