Synopsis
The seemingly offhanded, impromptu grace of a good Irish session is no accident. There's more to it than meets the eye or ear, and a sense of how to conduct a session--and conduct yourself at one--is not something you're born with, your Irish surname notwithstanding. As the first and only book devoted entirely to the dynamics and etiquette of the traditional Irish musical gathering, Field Guide to the Irish Music Session dares to delve into it all. Whether you're simply listening, or you'd like to try playing along, this insightful look into how it all works will put you on the road toward a deeper understanding and appreciation of the music, while providing a lot of laughs along the way.
