Irish Reel

http://youtube.com/watch?v=oVj9e74Ty_c

Perhaps not as good as a Buffy vid, but if you like Irish music...

When it starts, the fellow playing looks like just some Joe, but he's a pro and one of the best in the world at this sort of thing. I like his comment about the loss of sync late in the vid, that if you play fast enough it takes a minute for the mandolin to catch up. Speaking of the mandolin, the style he's playing hasn't been made since about 1909.

I loved that! I really like Irish music, and he's very good. Thanks for the musical interlude, CW!

Amazing flying fingers!

And, since he looks just like Joss, it sorta was a Buffy vid...

;o)

Semi-OT: I haven't followed any YouTube links because I don't know how well it'd work w/dial-up. Can you give me some idea, CW? I have a feeling it'd be slow & jerky & not worth it till I get broadband.
