Ah, this indeed is music—this pleases me.
Walt Whitman
On some nights, I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about 50 more miles if you have the right music on very loud on the radio.

In The NPR Curious Listener’s Guide to Celtic Music by Fiona Ritchie (host of The Thistle and Shamrock), in the chapter “The Musicians,” she writes:
“A throng of individuals, many unsung, breathe life into the diverse music we celebrate in this book. Selecting a limited number for mention in this chapter is difficult, but here are some of the personalities who have shaped, and still set the course for, the evolving traditions of Celtic music.”
“Robin Bullock (b. 1964): Bullock’s music accents the connections between Celtic and American traditional and acoustic music. That he is able to do so by playing almost any stringed instrument to perfection is his specialty. Thanks to multi-tracking, guitar, mandolin, cittern, bass guitar, fiddle, whistle and piano are all in his recording repertoire. Bullock’s second solo album, Midnight Howl, fully actualizes its subtitle: ‘A celebration of the wild American spirit and its Celtic roots in traditional, Irish and old-time music.’ Bullock was a popular fixture in the Washington DC-area acoustic scene, playing with the trio Helicon and Walt Michael, but he has been living in Paris in recent years, returning often to the United States to perform and teach.”
