    While channel surfing on Saturday night (8/30/96) I just happened upon
    the most incredible documentary of Irish music. They explained the
    history, the instruments, how it migrated across the Atlantic to the Appalachians, the dances, and lots more. It was produced or
    distributed by Hummingbird Productions and it aired on the Encore
    cable tv channel. I tried to tape it but goofed and it didn't work.
    Does anyone know anything about this video? Is it available for sale anywhere? It didn't "feel" recent (hairstyles, clothing) but I
    couldn't even tell what the name of it was, because they kept
    referring to "Ovation" but on the cable lineup it listed "Bring It
    Back Home."
    Hope someone can help.

    Another interesting production came from the Disney channel several years
    ago entitled "Irish Music in America". Even though it was only one hour,
    it gave brief discussions by performer such as , Emmy Lou Harris, Elvis Costello, The Everly Brothers, John Prine, etc. regarding Irish music and
    how it has influenced our music today. Check it out.
