ROOM OF BAD TUNES
Are all traditional tunes created equally? And if they aren’t, what happens to the, um, lesser tunes? Do they end up like lost dryer socks? Chicago-based accordion player Jimmy Keane reflects on the room of bad tunes, and shares one of his loveliest compositions in this month’s off season installment.

CELTIC MUSIC *IS* DIVERSITY IN ACTION
Celtic culture is not black and white. There are many different colors and sounds that fit into the Celtic music genre. They all deserve attention.
FairPlé is just one small aspect. It aims to achieve gender balance in the production, performance, promotion, and development of Irish traditional and folk music. They advocate for equal opportunity and balanced representation for all.
CELTIC INVASION OF ITALY
Join me for an invasion that will make your mind explode. Yes. The Celts invaded Venice. We’re gonna soak in the magic of Italy with a Celtic approach to Italian culture. We will see beautiful artwork, castles, rolling hills and mountains. And we will eat Italian food that will make you joyful beyond belief.
