[Santa Cruz Celtic Slow Sessions] what is a "planxty" - some history and some silliness

[Lela C. Carney]

We are not alone in getting creative with the etymology of this word after discovering why the high D in Planxty Davis section B makes it a bit of a dodgy choice.

Undaunted, we carry on.   See if you make it down to “Planck’s Tea” in the discussion below, immortalized in cyberspace and retrieved for our edification by AI straight from O’Carolan’s life and times.
