  1. Odd, but ITunes isn’t showing this episode yet. And it is January 3rd. Oh,well, I’m sure it will show up soon.

    Happy New Years!

  2. That’s cuz I foolishly set the date as Jan 2008. I changed it and updated the feed. Give it a wee bit and iTunes will recognize my foolishness.

  3. LOL, don’t you hate those pesky date changes?

    Thanks, Marc – I expect it will be there when I get home.

  4. Hi,
    While I am Russian by birth and culture, I admire Irish music tremendously!
    It is the best music for sole and for flesh!..
