Jigs: Ard Baithen, The Mooncoin, The King of the Pipers

by Tommy Peoples

Not only do I think I'm Jewish I also think I'm Irish ;-) who knows maybe I am, my brother does have red hair after all (AND according to my g. grandmother there was an irishwoman in the family tree) ^_^ I usually use this music to practice on my bodhrán (irish drum).



Here I am practicing on my bodhrán (WARNING: lower the volume before playing this, the sound quality isn't too great)

Rondo Ukraine

by Trio Bravo

And here we have something more intense from the same group.

Darf ich bitten?

by Trio Bravo

This beautiful piece reminds me of when I used to play marimba, I wasn't anywhere near as good but I had fun ^_^ I love the piano in this piece!

back in my days as a percussionist (far right)

Blue Room

sung by Perry Como

This is another song I came across while watching one of my favorite TV shows (Mad Men!). Como's voice makes me melt and it's always a pleasure to watch the lovely Cyd Charisse dance!

They Took A Vote And Said No

by Sunset Rubdown

This song really makes me want to jump up and down and dance like a dork and for those of you who know me you know how rare it is for me to actually do that. FYI The guys in the video aren't the actual band.
