Re: Jewish/Irish music

[music <music...>]

What's the recording, Adrianne, if you would?

I don't know if I'll be able to add any substantive content, but I
certainly recognize and respond to the plaintive soulfulness of much Irish
music.  A quasi-klezmer I know used to sing, and recorded with his band,
the morning prayer "Modeh Ani" to a classic of Irish folk music.

   My interest has been peaked lately via a Celtic recording I received
   for  Chanuka. One of the tracks has a tune that's like a jazzed up
   Hatikva  beginning. Yes, I'm aware that this beginning isn't all that
   unique.... But I began looking into Irish/Jewish culture and finding
   that I can find  that indeed there is a strong albeit small community
   - progressive orthodox  in particular - but I cannot find any specific
   articles or references to the  music.
   Any suggestions?
