Here's a little bit of manga to start the month - a "Kitsune" magical being playing the harp - I googled Harp-Fox-Images and this came up along with a number of other odd images. The reason being that we have a fox den near the house, filled, no doubt with kits as I see the parents trot by several times a day, working hard to feed them all. I'm reading a marvelous book about foxes. It just tickles me what can come up when you randomly google images.
Meanwhile, I started off May playing an odd but lovely Carolan tune, Sir Ulick Burke with a friend at a little house concert and played, i think, the calmest and best I ever have. Steady as a rock throughout. Amazing to me. We finished up with George Brabazon, one of my first Carolan tunes!
Irish musicking has been very big the last month - it seems that anywhere from three to four days a week I have something, a class, a session, a practice session or a party/event to go to, either playing or as a listener. And with the summer coming soon, it will only get busier I know. I am, like Andee, quite distracted by other pursuits, among them the concertina which seems to be percolating into a new level, and with my writing, with a book accepted by an agency and all the revision work I have to do.
