This blog is based in Northeast Ohio, what was "La Nation du Chat," the Cat Nation, as the French-Canadian furtraders called the Land of the Erie Indians. The blog will touch on many issues: nature, the environment, literature, poetry, society, and politics. Around here we think of the Lake Erie shoreline as the North Coast of the United States--a Frontier in the midst of the Rust Belt.

The Uillean Pipe Tune Played at Seamus Heaney's Funeral
Below is a video of Ronan Browne playing "Port na bPucai" ("Tune of the Faeries") on the uillean pipes (elbow pipes or Irish pipes). This is the same tune that Liam O'Flynn played at Seamus Heaney's funeral yesterday.
