Exode la traverse

I originally composed this music while living in Brittany France. After hearing tales of the Celts fleeing across the channel in leather skinned boats.A lot of my musician friends are from Ireland. My Grandfather was from Brittany, I think that is were my love of Celtic music comes from.
Every one of my Irish friends have told me of the terrible Exodus during the
potatoes crop failure and famine.
It was while watching two videos on Youtube on this subject that I was inspired to make this clip.
Please go have a look.

For those of you who are Guitarists I play this with a Rolland GR-1 Midi
combined with acoustic guitar using steel finger picks it helps for precision
on hitting the strings which makes it better for the Midi to pick up..
