Hey Abigail,
I agree with you that having some other perspectives included would be a good idea for making generalizations about Irish traditional music. I'm going to be very careful when framing my final blog post to make sure it doesn't sound as though I believe that the Irish Cultural Centre is representative of Irish music everywhere, rather my concern with this project is my analysis of what's going on in Canton (which, of course, could be extended to studies of Irish diaspora music in other places in the future). Talking to Sheila was really helpful and the books she gave me have been great. Let me know if you'd like to look at any of them. For my blog post, I'm definitely going to include an excerpt from the interview because Sean is an extremely eloquent speaker and his voice communicate more than a transcript of his voice. As of right now, I feel really good heading into the project and have a large body of text/media/experience to draw from. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
-Ben
