October, 2005, once again found Anthony Kearns and Patrick Healy back in Port Angeles, Washington.
They have been wonderful support to the superlative music program offered at Port Angeles High School in past years and always enjoy their time in our beautiful area. Our community deeply appreciates their willingness to come and sing on behalf of, and with, our student musicians. Locals always turn out in huge numbers to fill the hall everytime the Dynamic Irish Duo comes to town!
This past fall, Anthony and Patrick graciously agreed to sit for a brief interview with one of the high school's reporters. They were very kind to the interviewer, and pretty funny, too!
It is so enjoyable to see both of these gentlemen with young people. They are always attentive, polite, and amusing. But you'll find that Paddy was in rare form for this interview!
As always, remember that this is a large file; it may take considerable time to load depending upon the age of your computer and the speed of your internet provider. But be patient: it is well worth the wait!
With thanks to Ron Jones, Port Angeles High School orchestra director, for providing this interview for the websites of Anthony and Patrick, and to Jim Larkin, Sounds of the Emerald Isle, for his technical assistance.
Most importantly, with sincere gratitude to Anthony Kearns and Patrick Healy for their kindess to our youth orchestra, and for granting this interview.
Both of these fine men are dedicated advocates of music education.
