7. How I(Raegan) started listening to them....
Although I did not start listening regularly until this year, I first heard them
when I went to Raglan Road Irish Pub in Downtown Disney in Disney World
with my family. My dad bought the cd and downloaded the songs onto the
computer and ended up on my IPod.
8. Why I like them... Will I continue listening to them.
I really enjoy listening to Irish music because it is different from pop or
rock. So this is why I told Jackie that we are doing this group. I sure will
continue listening to them but I don't know about Jackie so lets find out!
Jackie: I think that it is very different from what
I normally listen to so I probably will keep listening
to them.
