This is basically a mini album. I've been listening to old episodes and wanted all the tunes in Jackson's Celebrated Irish Tunes in one place. What do you think of the new fonts and background? The font is as close as I could find for Robert Bremner's font in his printed collection. But I'm not sure the History nerd-ness of Marble paper and eighteenth century font outweighs the readability of a Sans Serif font and white space.
