Irish Harp - reasonably well.

Button accordion - horribly badly, but will learn, I will, I will, I will…

Genre: Irish traditional music on both,

Its from Tony Campolo, who is a christian speaker(among other things), but the [fundies](http://www.otherside.net/campolot.htm) hate him, so he must be ok.

He says all kings of horrible things, like we aught not persecute homosexuals and such. T

> The evangelical church is “homophobic” he says, (1) and their views on homosexuality are “despicable.” (2) Christians, he says, are too ready to pull their children from public schools because homosexuals are allowed to teach there, and he disputes the notion that homosexuals present a special threat to children. (3) He is critical of Christians who believe in a strong military defense, (4) those who eat a lot of red meat, (5) purchase fur coats, (6) or those who live the “affluent middle-class life-style.” (7)

He says a lot of other things that tick these people off, like God would choose feeding a starving child in Hati over stained glass any day of the week. And that we probably shouldnt destroy the enviroment etc.
