Just recovering from the Catskills week and thought I would announce that I with help from a couple of friends released my first CD “The Long Trip Home”. Let me know what you think. I put three of the 15 tracks up on my file sharing site.
Sean McComiskey - Accordion, Jim Eagan - Fiddle and Brendan Bell - Flute are playing with me on these tracks. I supplied the Flute and guitar accomp. Hope you enjoy.
Thanks everyone. Celtic Grooves will be carrying it starting on Wednesday if you are interested www.celticgrooves.homestead.com/CGhome.html Im just glad that you all enjoyed it. It sucks pretty hard when people don’t enjoy your music.
I hate to sound like a gearhead or a name-brander, but could you say what sort of flute you were playing? I think you’ve figgered out its nuances quite nicely.
Ya don’t say? (not about the Olwell clan being super cool, I agree, as a fellow member of the Olwell brotherhood, although my signature clips feature much more modest instruments). Is the entire instrument/apparatus, including the bottom two keys made by Patrick and company? I didn’t know he was doing any 8 key models. Who do I have to kill to get one?
You sure know how to make that thing hum. Nice work. You are someone from whom almost all of us could learn a tremendous amount. I’m eager to get my hands on your recording.
Is playing Irish music your profession? Can you say which players or experiences have had a strong influence on your development?
I’ve been browsing the forums since about 2001, but only recently been posting, and I must say, your level of accomplishment, in my opinion, is pretty much second to none on these boards. Right up there with Sylvain Barou, Harry Bradley, Ben Power, and Brad Hurley. I myself have not been to Ireland since, unfortunately, 2002, and am long overdue for some refresher coursework.
Folks, Josh D is a real VIP and should be treated as such.
Awesome! Absolutely awesome! I’ve been a fan since I heard your recording at the Clips’n’Snips page, which is still one of my all time favorites (Eavesdropper and own composition).
Ah, after reading the description of your flute I remember seeing you and that flute in East Durham. I believe it was at the session at Furlong’s with the Mulcahy’s. I think so anyway. That week was pretty much a blur.
