I saw this video on Nature on PBS several months ago, and PBS recently posted the whole thing. I want to order it so I can watch it with better resolution. I know you guys will likely not watch the whole fifty minutes, but you should consider it. Wow.
I don’t know that all of you have any history with this band, though most of you received an Irish cd at some point with some of their music on it. Their latest album is a series of slower, more sombre tunes, but their musicianship still shines. I thought the video was kind of pretty too.
in a sick sort of way… “May the Force be with you”.
Feel free to check out my new work, the TINAW Drawings, an ongoing series of 24 drawings, of which I posted 16.

The annals say: when the monks of Clonmacnoise
Were all at prayers inside the oratory
A ship appeared above them in the air.
The anchor dragged along behind so deep
It hooked itself into the altar rails
And then, as the big hull rocked to a standstill,
A crewman shinned and grappled down the rope
And struggled to release it. But in vain.
‘This man can’t bear our life here and will drown,’
The abbot said, ‘unless we help him.’ So
They did, the freed ship sailed, and the man climbed back
Out of the marvellous as he had known it.
