Pilgrimage to Ireland: VIDEOS!

Update on June 9, 2009:

Our Lady of Sorrows Choir: Singing in Dublin at John's Lane Church. Photo by Dan Ruffin

At long last, a blog update!! Alas, our Ireland choir pilgrimage didn't leave enough time to update our blog while in Ireland (between daytime singing and touring and nighttime searches for Irish music!) But then the blogmeister was off to Holland, Belgium, France, California, and Illinois for three weeks immediately after the end of the choir tour of Ireland, and has been in "catch-up mode" ever since. Now, finally, some updates! With many many thanks to Dan Ruffin and his first experimentation with a new camera, see Dan Ruffin's Videos of OLOS Choir in Ireland at http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=oloschoir
