A few tunes from The Dorkestra, a band that would occasionally play at the local Irish pub where I went to college. Nice bar, had Guinness on tap and served pints with a small hard pretzel on the side. I bought the 11593 CD at one of their shows (and have managed to keep it for almost 30 years). Folk/Celtic inspired music.

The band formed in New York but were based in Bloomington, Indiana when I caught them. These songs were recorded live in Bloomington. Not much info online about the band.

SPOILER WARNING
A late night gathering for non serious palaver that does not speak of that night’s show. Posting a spoiler will get you brollywhacked. You don’t want that to happen to you. It's a fate worse than a fate worse than death.
I just knew this song from the Office (the episode when Dwight’s brother and sister come home for their aunt’s funeral). Good tune.

Here’s one from Barbara Manning and the S.F. Seals. Their name was taken from the Pacific Coast League baseball team (San Francisco also had a hockey team named the Seals who played at the Cow Palace).
PSF: Could you talk about how you started out with music?
Barbara Manning: I had a dream about Pete Townsend. He said 'pick up thy guitar and march up to the world.' That's the truth. — Perfect Sound Forever

A teenaged Joe DiMaggio joined the Seals as a shortstop after older brother Vince, already with the club, got him a tryout. In 1933, his first full season with his hometown Seals, Joltin’ Joe (#10) posted a .340 batting average and had a 61-game hitting streak, five games better than his Major League record streak with the Yankees eight years later.
