I have been a musician most of my life. My current musical configurations are:
The Kennedys
The Strangelings
The Stringbusters
The Snacks
Maura Kennedy
I have created photo albums for all these configurations, plus one of family photos.
I have been writing new solo songs and posting them on my myspace page, which is www.myspace.com/MauraKennedy. You should find a new song every month.
I love New York City above all other places in the world.
I recently learned how to hula hoop and how to play the ukulele, and I like to do them both at the same time. What else do you want to know?

Your version of A Day in the Life was really good. I usually cannot stand when somebody attempts to do a classic. I wanna hear the punk side of Pete! I know that bitter spike haired teenager is in you. It is always great to hear people who really enjoy what their doing. Keep on rockin!
Thanks, so many ways for a person to be blown away at a festival! Count me as among the blown away, and by no means "Left Behind." I thought I was caught up in the clouds to meet my maker! :-) :-)
