I'm trying to learn and would like to know if anyone speaks Irish or is learning it.

Go raibh math agat!

I don't speak Irish and my wife sometimes wonders if I can even speak English )

well i'm a kind of a languages nut...not to mention a glutton for punishment!

Hey, thanks - i didn't even know this one was out there! Appreciate it.

Oh yeah, I see you are based in Charlotte - if you happen to have a hankering for old time american banjo/fiddle music this weekend my band is playing McGlohon at Spirit Square, whatever that is... reckon i'll find out soon enough!


thanks again--

Would that be "The Waybacks & The Carolina Chocolate Drops" on Sunday, June 17 at 8:00pm?

why yes, yes it would. we were just on WBT radio this morning - it was cool.

Don't know the Waybacks myself, I'm a chocolate drop....

My wife Denise and I arrived in the US one year ago tomorrow - June 14 - (we had lived in Ireland together for several years before that) so I'll bring her along to see your band on Sunday evening to celebrate.

Hope the concert goes well for The Carolina Chocolate Drops! Looking forward to seeing you perform! Don't forget to play a song for us!

Well, very very cool! I'm honored you're celebrating by coming to our concert - hope you enjoy it - banjos, you know.
we'll definitely give you a shout out!
