Chronicles of a Late-Blooming Child Prodigy

I'm an unrelenting aficionado of Chess, Toastmasters and acoustic music (Celtic and Bluegrass--Turquoisegrass?). Audio and Video Blogging gives my visitors a chance to hear and see my triumvirate of interests in action. Cheers! --GT

My recurring illusions of grandeur: (1) winning a state-level chess tournament, (2) winning the World Championship of Public Speaking, and (3) playing Flight of the Bumblebee on the guitar at the Annual Flatpicking Championship in Winfield, Kansas. Until then, I'll relish all three pursuits with the enthusiasm and fearlessness of a late-blooming child prodigy. :)

BBC Virtual Jam Session

The BBC Virtual Session is the best internet jam partner I've found. Folks who play at Irish sessions look for inspiration from all quarters, both online and off. If you can't get out to enjoy Celtic music in its natural habitat, then this is a good alternative.

The tunes are grouped by type (Reel, Jig, Hornpipe, etc.), and are all played three times through. You can print out the tune, and control the playback so you can go over that particularly difficult reel as many times as your sanity will permit.

Whoever put this together, kudos. You guys rock.
