'Tune In', according to Timothy Leary, meant interacting harmoniously with the world around you - externalize, materialize, express your new internal perspectives. I can identify with that. When I play music on stage or informally with friends old and new, I feel that. When it's really working, we tune in to each other. I don't know if it is about taking a risk together, or communicating on a deeper, emotional level, or just doing what feels and sounds good in a certain moment, but it's what I most love about playing music. - Nuala Kennedy
