I love making music with other musicians for home-brewed
music and performances. I lean toward traditional music (British,
Balkan, American) but if it's great music, that's great with me.
Topical music is also really important to me. I am a so-so guitartist
and a much better singer.

PHIL
SHAPIRO AND CARRIE SHORE, the American Folk Tradition. Two voices, fiddle
and guitar. We do traditional American folk songs and tunes, and
more recent songs written from the tradition. Sturdy songs that can
stand the test of time. Many of our songs have choruses, and they
encourage audience participation. We are NOT singer-songwriters.
Phil (Ithaca) and Carrie (Binghamton) have played all over New York State
and Pennsylvania since 2002. We're looking for places to play where
the audience comes to listen, and, we hope, sing with us. The better
the audience, the lower our guarantee.
Phil also offers Group Folk Guitar Lessons at Cornell University in Ithaca,
open to the public.

The
purpose of the Eastern Long Island Police Pipes & Drums is to promote
and develop interest in piping and drumming as a marching unit, and to
promote a friendly and fraternal spirit among the members of the band and
the community. The band also encourages community interest in the musical
sound of the bagpipes & drums, and the ethnic heritage that surrounds
it. Through public demonstrations, competitions, and seminars, the band
appears in the traditional uniform of the Celtic armies for all to see
and enjoy. The goal of these public demonstrations is to encourage both
the community and the band members to take active interest in exploring
and learning about their ethnic heritage and to better understand themselves
as both people and as part of an ethnic culture.
