I’ll be talking about home songs and domesticity @UCDSchoolMusic tomorrow at 5pm. Free and open to interested parties if you’re in the area!
Thanks @theriversideUCC and @walkerabroad for another fab adventure to Special Collections. Today the @MusicUCC senior research forum checked out the Henebry/O’Neill Edison phonograph, from O Callaghan’s Cork; various editions of Moore’s Irish Melodies; and this binders volume!
What was that?? I couldn’t hear you! Ireland continues to deliver the comedy. The start of this project outside my bedroom window coincided with the start of lockdown two weeks ago: #workingfromhome
Can't wait to read all of this! It's just a short and personal piece, but I wrote about I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got for its 30th anniversay in my last History Witch 'zine column.

Awaken your senses w/ a fantabulous playlist of nocturnes, lullabies, and moondances. Episode 10 showcases songs about la lune, the stars, night wanders, and sleep walking. Dream a little dream. (+ check out my debut as self producer w/ Ableton Live 😬😳). #radio #nuitblanche2020
Sentimental Songs for Sentimental People returns to @subtextradio on Saturday, 18 July! Episode 9 searches for songs that feature the keyword “sentimental” in their titles. Prepare for a sentimental stroll through sentimental reasons, melodies, fools, and even sandwiches.
I’ve got the books for you! This one belonged to my grandpa. The chord organ pictured here is a lot like the one I learned on for my first few yrs of piano lessons. I’ve got a few Sentimental Songs for Chord Organ books somewhere, too. Let me know if you want the scores!

Pulled out this vintage gown I inherited from my Baba. Paired it with silver clogs and bronze lipstick. Slightly oversized but happy for a chance to wear it for @rachsyme’s #distancebutmakeitfashion Silver threads among the gold.
