Irish Pub Confessional
« on: March 17, 2017, 02:37:13 PM »
People keep asking me if I'm Irish, and I honestly don't know what to tell them. I feel Irish, yet I'm not entirely sure.

I know other parts of my background are from England, Ukraine, Switzerland, and Colonial America yet that's about it. :-/

Oh and the Irish Pub Confessional I'm wanting to bring up is going to a Pub to try a Guinness.

Might have to do a more thorough ancestral search.

I played tenor banjo at a pub's Irish night once. Also did the live sound a few times for an Irish band that consisted entirely of English musicians.

Which was why I took a DNA test I was given for Christmas.

How long have you played the banjo?  :orly:

I started in my mid teens, then stopped in my early twenties after my father ruined Irish music for me by practising his own banjo and his melodeon for long periods of time at a very high volume. I still have a tenor guitar (same tuning and number of strings as the tenor banjo), but I can't remember the last time I even touched it.

I got the results, and I'm only Irish by less than 1%. The highest amount was 65% British and 13 to 18% Western European.

Another surprise was 1% European Jew.

I'm curious, the Irish I'm aware of (it's in there), but some things are unknown...but I'm cheap. 

That's cool though. :lol1:
