044: Wexford Carol and Yuletide Tacos with Erin

<p>'tis the season of pine trees, falling snow, and Christmas Hams... unless you're Erin, in which case 'tis the season of giant avocado trees, falling avocados from said trees, and Christmas chips & salsa. Tune into this episode to hear more about delicious rattlesnacks than you'd expected as well as some great, "history," regarding mandolins, bagpipes, mexican food, and more - including a very cool tune, "The Wexford Carol". Happy end-of-year to you all, dear friends!</p> <p> </p> <p>Here's the cool Molly in the Mineshaft album we talked about, from which we pulled the rendition of Wexford Carol heard in this episode: <a href='https://mollyinthemineshaft.bandcamp.com/track/wexford-carol'>https://mollyinthemineshaft.bandcamp.com/track/wexford-carol</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Here's the album on which Erin collaborated with me for that rendition of, "Shalom," featured in this episode (it's track #12): <a href='https://heritagebagpipes.bandcamp.com/album/sunday-smallpipes-vol-ii'>https://heritagebagpipes.bandcamp.com/album/sunday-smallpipes-vol-ii</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Here's the awesome Christmas Tune collection we mentioned, by Timothy Cummings: <a href='https://birchenmusic.com/product/on-this-day-earth-shall-ring-printed-collection/'>https://birchenmusic.com/product/on-this-day-earth-shall-ring-printed-collection/</a> Here's last year's Christmassy episode where Tim was interviewed, (and may I just suggest all the other December episodes with my dear friends, they were super fun and worth a re-visit): <a href='https://www.heritagebagpipes.com/podcast/episode/3c1eb249/017-final-christmas-episode-timothy-cummings'>https://www.heritagebagpipes.com/podcast/episode/3c1eb249/017-final-christmas-episode-timothy-cummings</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Here's an awesome YouTube video of Evan Marshall playing a mandolin solo that sounds like a duet... or more...: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imDg23yex7w'>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imDg23yex7w</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Here's the Lambchop Christmas Special: <a href='
