The last Irish Music Session of this academic year took place at Hiram College today. The group was smaller in size than normal (9 or 10 musicians and maybe 7 observers), but the music was still wonderful.

| Ellen Eckhouse, on harp, with one of her students |
 |
| Sheldon Firem on guitar, with Robin Montgomery on piano |
 |
| Sheldon also is a terrific bodhran and whistle player |
 |
| Paul Dreisbach on whistle (his uillean pipes on his lap); Tina Dreisbach on Irish flute. Tina also plays the concertina |
 |
| Who know more tunes and song verses than Robin Montgomery? (No one!) |
Not pictured: me on whistle and guitar, Marlene Connell on bodhran; and a fiddle player (don't know his name). Marlene was married to the late John Connell, County Cavan native and terrific button box player and singer. Among those in the audience--Kathleen O'Neill Webb and her husband Rick Webb.
I'm going to try to list all the tunes played--[coming in a later post].
