About this blog

I am enjoying a year in the Emerald Isle studying music and becoming a better global citizen. Our adventures take us to the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at the University of Limerick, where I will complete a Master's in Ethnomusicology (essentially the study of folk music).

Because I am a silly American who finds it, well, silly that I am living in a city called Limerick, I hereby ask you all to send me limericks that I can post to my blog. Find existing ones, make them up yourself, the choice is yours. Keep 'em coming - this should be fun.

I will miss all my friends and family at home, so join me with your eyes and witty comments as you fulfill your reading pleasure.

Bon Appetit
