Grey Larsen's lifelong love of traditional music began in 1959 at age four, and he's never looked back. Academically studying music during his time at Oberlin, in 1976 he went fully into performance, devouring the repertoire of Irish flute, tin whistle and Anglo concertina. Now a teacher, recording and touring artist and Music Editor of Sing Out!, he furthers his passion with this exhaustive, gorgeous dissertation into the ancient musics of Ireland. Perfect for beginner and expert alike, the book reads like a chronological history of these wind instruments, perfectly complemented by the two CDs to help you whistle (along) while you work.
