Ireland: I didn't bring my harp this time

It's a different kind of trip than when I came to Ireland with my harp in 2006 (pre-blog) or when I received a Minnesota State Arts Board Grant in 2010 to study harp in Ireland (see a list of posts in this post). It's personal, Mom and Sheila and I and our friendship circle.

But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy being serenaded by others. What a treat, really. Sitting back and eating fish and chips (which I later regretted deeply, but I knew I would) while a band of local musicians in Dingle played reel after jig after air after song...

All by heart. All together now...

What a pure, joyful treat.
