While it's still St. Patrick's Day...


With ancestors from Tipperary, Kilkenny and Cork, I couldn't let St. Patrick's Day go by unnoticed. Fortunately, my friend, the talented mezzo-soprano Ellen Bullinger, has provided a quality tribute



And, I can't forget Michael Kevin Walsh; pianst, cellist, recording engineer, videographer...in other words, he did everything else to showcase Ellen's lovely vocals. 

The versatile Ellen moves easily between musical theatre, jazz, pop, opera and sacred music. A few years ago, I was fortunate to hire Ellen and Michael as the entertainment for a corporate holiday party and the dance floor was full all night! Although Ellen has performed on at least three continents as well as an island or two, I am still waiting to see her in a major role on Broadway or a New York concert stage.  What's wrong with these casting directors?!

Back to the main theme...Happy St. Patrick's Day!
