Celtic Music

Anyone ever listened to Celtic women? I heard them once awhile ago on the Public Broadcast station. What I recall, was the excellent violinist and also, the harp music, along with the great vocal skills of these women. I am going to try and get a CD of them, as soon as i get a CD player for my truck. I remember long ago while driving through New Mexico, I picked up an Irish radio station that played this type of music. I loved it. Somewhat haunting, yet, peaceful.

No i have not but ill keep my ears open..Dublin in the sixties was my kind of heaven, I followed folk music with my Irish friend Bill.He played the guitar and i groaned.The trouble was if he was drunk and someone gave him the mike you had to fight him to get it back.

I have to share this with you Xris. Many years ago, when i was about nineteen or so, my cousins and I played music in a little bar in Phoenix. One night, we were there playing and my cousin Steve was singing. The only ones in the bar were a couple of drunk fellows who were a bit cantankerous. During a pause, one of those fellows asked my cousin if he took requests. Steve said, well, yes. The drunken fellow then asked if he could sing, "far away". Steve looks up in the air and begins to hum the words "far away". The drunks busted out laughing.
Poor Ole steve didn't pick up on it. Later on that evening, the ole drunks asked Steve how long it would be until the next set. He said, oh, about a half hour or so. The drunk said, good. that will give me time for another drink and I can get the **** outa here.

Magic..Karioki, i get claps and cheers of sympathy.Me and my mate do "lonesome trail" by constant request because we are so bad..

I'm not very interested in Enya either, I've moved on to other things. But I still maintain a level of appreciation for it even though I have moved on. The music doesnt loose any of its merit despite the fact that I get tired of it... it is still good music in itself. But if it were the case... wouldnt that be the fate of your fiddle as well?
