"I'll Tell Me Ma” + “John Ryan's Polka" are two of the most beloved traditional Irish tunes ever written. I’ve loved Irish music since the first time heard it. My great-great grandparents Joseph Baxter and Catherine Clare (born at sea), landed on the shores of America in the 1830’s. This music runs in my blood. The jam was over and we were just fooling around.
