    With only three chords, a couple of verses and the vague idea of wooing a young maiden with an original song, I walked into Cormac's World. What emerged is akin to the mythical Phoenix rising from the ashes! Cormac not only kept me on track (pun intended), but he also played guitar licks he created, the mandolin, sang harmony, coordinated the inclusion of other musicians, and recorded and mastered the song. If you're looking for a one-stop=shop, multi-instrumentalist with high-functioning creativity and a killer Irish accent...look no further than CorMAGIC Kavanaugh!
