Cathie Ryan: teaching tradition
Blog: Music Road - 28 November 2011
“I love teaching Irish music to adults, or even teenagers, because I know they go out -- even with little kids too, so I can say teaching singing across the board -- because I know they’re going to go out with a whole song that they have learned, at least one, and they’re going to be able to share that with other people. They're going to have confidence to do that because they’ve worked on it in class. Just singing with other people in class gives you confidence, you know. So that is a joy.” That is Cathie Ryan talking.

Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 9 March 2011
Although my Ohio State “I bleed scarlet and gray maaan” allegiance should keep me from ever so much as walking on the same side of the street of a bar known as my rival Michigan hang-out, I cannot resist the siren call of good nachos.

Michigan has a sunrise side, a sunset side, an upper peninsula, apple orchards, cherry trees, lighthouses...and let’s not forget the football teams, the gardens, the busy cities, the small Amish communities, the quiet back roads and lake shores. It’s a heartland state, with its own identity.

Motor City Madness
Blog: No Borders - 29 July 2009
St Clair Shores, Mich - I'm proud to say I'm from Detroit.

I won't argue that the city isn't going through some tough times (and has been - since before I was born). It makes the city an easy target for criticism. Maybe that's why I find the videos and photos of Detroit's abandoned buildings so boring. This has been going on for years, people - can't you find something new to say?
