Ah, Seamus. Actually, depending on which Seamus you're talking about (there's an East Coast Seamus and a West Coast Seamus) I've got him on the Solas cuts, and he shows up on Alison Brown's records, too.
On my old MP3 player, which conked out, I also had When Juniper Sleeps and The Eighth of January. I haven't gotten round to transferring those over.
Actually, I forgot...I also have Mick O'Brien and Caiomhin O'Raighallaigh's Kiltie Lie Over, one of my favorite recordings ever, as well as a bootleg concert recording of Caiomhin O'Raighallaigh playing solo fiddle in a concert, on my computer. I Haven't been able to figure out how to transfer those over without resynching everything and losing everything I bought from iTunes on my work computer, which I no longer have.

If the opportunity ever presents itself for you to attend a Lyle Lovett concert, you might find yourself adding his work to your iPod. The musicianship of his band is astonishing. My brother-in-law, who was in a band for quite some time, disagrees with me in most things but not this.
Lyle Lovett puts on a hell of a show and has some music you might well appreciate.

FYI...I am probably going to be end up being the only one here without an MP3 player.
But if I did, here's who we would have in common (just off the top of my head, of course):
Anoushka Shankar (heard her play with her dad, and with Sting...definitely her father's daughter)
Brad Paisley
Itzhak Perlman
Lunasa
Nickel Creek
Peter Gabriel
Plant & Krauss
...and those we would not:
Ashley MacIsaac
Bobby McFerrin
Bela Fleck
Eric Johnson
Nile
Nine Inch Nails
Rush
Steve Vai
Seamus Kennedy
Tool
Trace Adkins
