Irish Music Stories Podcast

Episode 69-Tea, Turf, and Wooden Spoons


Listen Later

Lunch routines, laundry, kid art supplies, spoons, and teacups are details of domestic life that don't usually make it into the photo albums, or the tune titles. But they shape lives. And in the midst of the thousands of jigs and reels out there, the simple (and profound) cup of tea.. and the basket of turf are represented. Here's a meditation on tunes with prosaic titles and the stimulating stories behind them.
