Great idea so us lazybones can pretend to be 'there' and not be square!

Whew, what a great idea... "I'm heading South, and I will look for you." Love.

From The Washington Post itself, Karan Casey was called

“….the Irish equivalent of Emmylou Harris.”

The crowd is completely hushed for Karan as she plays piano and sings. It's like we're all holding our breath at once.
