In the air between Toronto and Glasgow, I'm on my way home after three days' intensive playing with David Greenberg in Halifax, Nova Scotia.  Between the two of us were a massive pile of 18th century source material, a piano, a pump organ, a harpsichord, two fiddles (baroque and modern), and occasional musicological help, fiddling and step-dancing from David's wife Kate Dunlay. Their son Owen gave me a bodhran lesson too. We got well over a hour's worth of repertoire out of it, now we need to decide which concerts and whose CDs it all goes in - meetings with record company people on either side of the Atlantic await.
