Thank for this great resource of celtic session tunes. Lots of new ones for me
to learn. If I get to Charlotte, I'll try to attend one of your sessions.
And, I think a tablet of pdfs would be a lot better than notebooks of music.
Do you recommend one tablet computer over another? I guess size of the screen
and ease of use would be the determining factors.
