My Grandfather's first cousin passed away last night. By far the most interesting person in my family; was an opera singer in Italy for years, La Scala and everything.

Did a little twitter thread about her this morning with some good stories about her

Thanks, that stuff isn't even the half of it. I don't think my family ever really realised what a big deal she was until later in her life.

She once had a recital in Dublin about 15 or 20 years ago, I believe at the Italian ambassador's residence or something like that and my folks were invited as we're from Kildare and fairly close to it. They only really went because according to my dad "we'd better go so there's someone there at least." The place was rammed to see her.

Sad news:

Uilleann piper Liam O'Flynn dies

Ah here

His Jam with Andy Irivine on (insert name of most recent weird instrument Irvine has mastered here) on this is just one of my favorite musics ever. Apparently he got flak from the piping community for going experimenting and playing 'new music' with Planxty. Also for the uninitiated, that's Christy Moore sporting both hair and beard and being all impressed beside him. (full on screen disclosure of stoic tradface man is at 4.30ish). Everything he touches on the 'Cold Blow and the Rainy Night' Album is immense.
