Yes, I've been in Scottish pipe bands off and on since I was 13... took up Scottish dancing then (still am member of Eugene Highlanders as a tenor drummer)...but the compelling music which feeds me is Irish...go figure (and me a Viking...hah!)

On my way to Ireland for three weeks, touring all over, museums and archeology by day, live music in the afternoons and evenings (friend Mick Moloney leads the tour), time by myself in Dublin to get into some trouble, eh? I've waited for this journey a long time...and expect it will fill me up with warmth and strength and history.

Loved the photos. They are the artist's view of the world around him. They are things that the "average tourist" never see, and cannot tell you why the country was beautiful. You captured Ireland. Well done.

thank you. I loved Ireland, though it was also poignant. Created a book called Irish Grey about my visit there, and also a book about the musicians and people on the tour. I spent ten days in Dublin by myself and walked from morning till late night. This spring I will be on Mick's tour of Scotland and the Outer Hebrides, invited as a photographer...if my 70 year old body will let me...thank you, I am encouraged.
