Happy St. Patrick’s Day! You’re in luck –today we’re sharing the wonderful Baltimore Consort’s lovely, lively, lilting recording of ancient Irish music: The Mad Buckgoat! These musicians first got together in 1980, and they have cultivated their artistry, repertory, and friendship with one another in a manner that shines through in every performance. I can’t think of a better example of how beautiful, gratifying and important personal connections are. Sláinte!
