• I am feeling sooooo goood! I am bouncing off the walls, I’m so full of energy! I want a do-over of Memorial day weekend! {sigh}

  
  

  Anyway, I have the good luck of having net access at work, therefore I am able to listen to my Mp3. I have been bopping around with songs going through my head so I thought I would list some of my favorite music and books and such. I love to share!

  
  

  As far as music goes I am very eclectic! I love oldies, country, pop, classical, New Age, and just about anything Celtic!

  
  

  I am actually at a point in my life that all I listen to is Celtic music. I have several groups that I ADORE! My first group is out of the land of Oz, the are A Celtic Rock Band called Brother! They Rock! Bagpipes, Dij **not sure of the full spelling..Digeriodo? It’s an aboriginal drone instrument, for those who have no idea what I’m trying to say! **, drums, bass, and guitar. What an awesome combination! Badpipes thrill me and the dij is the most primal instument I have ever encountered. It vibrates from the souls of your feet all the way to the top of your head, especially through the solar plexus…what a rush! Especially through a sound system! Oh my!!!! ( Sighs deeply! Ummm…yeah! )Pardon me, I’m going through Brother withdrawls… must…put…in…CD….Ahhhhhhh yeessss!

  
  

  Now, where was I, oh yeah, Brother…they write their own music and also do several Irish/Scottish folk songs. I can’t name a favorite song cause I love ‘em all, but if I had to pick a couple, one of them is a traditional Celtic song called “Will you go”. I actually have several versions of this on my MP3. Another one is an original called “Clumsy Lover”, and then there is “2 chairs and one Tree”…and then…Blackest of Blue…and so on. I could write volumes, but that is enough for now.

  
  

  Other groups include, Emerald Rose, which performs great Pagan  and Celtic songs, My very favorite of theirs is “Never Underestimate” which is about not messing with a woman who is in tune with the Goddess, I also love “Red-Haired Mary” (That is what I danced to this afternoon!) Then there is Shenanigan, which has some of the most beautifully haunting songs I have ever heard. My three favorites are “The Dragon and the Phoenix” and ”Wild One”, and ” The Harper”.

  
  

  I also enjoy Caleigh and Slainte, which are groups that play traditional Celtic songs. I love “Mairi’s Wedding”, and “Wild Rover”. A lot of these I hear a lot cause so many of them are played at Faire.

  
  

  Sorry, off on a tanget went I! And I took ye with me! I could go on for hours about my favorite music, but I think I have bored you enough.

  
  

  I think we will touch on favorite books later…I’m in the middle of a Sark-a-thon and This could take a while.

  
  

  Have a glorious night!

  
  

  Bright Blessings,
