In the late 1980’s his wife, Kathy, brought home from the public library a Celtic compilation cassette entitled “The Celts Rise Again”. Since that fateful day over thirty years ago Greg has been hooked on Celtic music in all its forms. His first Bodhran was purchased from the maker in the village of Roundstone on a trip to Ireland. It has been to Irish music sessions in La Crosse, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and elsewhere in the Midwest and now holds an honored place on the wall in his living room. In Winona he ran an Irish Music session for three years. Today Greg plays a Brendan White Bodhran for Patina. Having played the clarinet in high school (no more on that) but due to the similar open hole fingering, his next logical instrument was the Irish whistle. The high whistles are made by “Michael Burke Whistles” and “McNeela Music Instruments” and the low whistle is made by “Carbony Celtic Winds“. He also plays the accordion and backing guitar. Greg is thrilled to be playing in Patina with such a fine (and fun) group of musicians.
