This is last summer's (so, it's a little dated) introduction to the previously "stealth" Infobitt.com project, in which we come together to build the world's first crowdsourced front page news site. This is all about how the site works, and a little pep talk to the community! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkZX5K1566o

The book is also published more recently under the name Ryan's Mammoth Collection. I recorded these last year and just never got around to editing the rather long video. But here it is. Some of these tunes are pretty much American-only, and some are Scottish, even English, and not so much Irish in style. Most are played in Ireland in some form, but the style I give them here is definitely Irish. These are mostly tunes I haven't heard from elsewhere so you can hear what is pretty my own style as opposed to my "takes" on the styles of other people.

Poem text:
The year’s at the spring
And day’s at the morn;
Morning’s at seven;
The hillside’s dew-pearled;
The lark’s on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn:
God’s in His heaven—
All’s right with the world!
