about

One of the last of the great wandering Irish bards, Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) composed beautiful, lilting, and often haunting melodies on his harp. Blinded by smallpox in his late teens, O'Carolan navigated life through the patronage system, composing songs in praise of wealthy benefactors in exchange for ample room and board. By all accounts, he lived very well this way, traversing Ireland for close to 50 years. Because Irish harp music was rarely written down, what survives today was passed down by generations of musicians. There are over 200 songs attributed to Turlough O'Carolan. I like to think that he would be gratified to hear how the centuries have weathered, transformed, and revived his music. Known to be a gregarious and lively man, O'Carolan enjoyed fellowship and good drink. Perhaps feeling a kinship in more than musical terms, I chose "One Bottle More" as the title track and "Ode to Whiskey" as a good starting point for the the journey. Slainte, enjoy in good health!
