Um, family lore, which I haven't confirmed, says that my Scottish great-grandfather on my father's mother's side, married the daughter of an Irish sea-captain. I haven't confirmed that yet, tho'. Her maiden name was Cochrane - is that an Irish name?
Oh, and I went to university just north of Notre Dame, over on the Michigan side of the line. We organ majors would go down to South Bend all the time for organ recitals at Notre Dame's *gorgeous* church, or other concerts too. (You had to attend a certain number of concerts a term as a music major, and you couldn't always count on getting them all in by attending senior recitals and other concerts on campus...)
