THE LAST NOTE
The Luck of the Irish
Last week, we bid a happy Saint Patrick's Day to one of the most tenacious musical traditions in the world! Irish traditional music, which has had a heavy hand in shaping the core sounds of American folk and pop music, has survived better against the changing tides of global culture — both in popularity and in style — than the indigenous folk music of most European countries. There are many theories as to why, including that Ireland has never been a battlefront in any world wars, or that its economy has been largely agricultural, which encourages a culture of oral storytelling and folk songwriting. Regardless, we're ever grateful to Ireland for its airs, ballads, jigs, reels, and wonderful mid-March holidays.
