Review
Very funny, very amusing.--Seamus Connolly A delightful, whimsical, at times hilarious, yet always penetratingly accurate analysis and description of proper and improper behavior in Irish traditional music circles. Recommended highly for novice and aficionado alike.--Mick Moloney, Musician and Folklorist Very funny, very amusing.--Seamus Connolly, Director of Music, Song and Dance for Irish Studies, Boston College You need never again tread the delicate ground of explaining to a fellow musician how you think he or she is obstructing the session; instead offer them this book as a gift. For those who are unsure of the generally accepted ground rules for participating in a session, this is essential reading.--Martin Hayes, Internationally Known Fiddler
