The ONE Thing & Spotlight on Sligo Rags / CF#40

#40-The-One-Thing-&-Spotlight-on-Sligo-Rags

What is the ONE thing that will make you successful? That's what the latest audiobook I'm enjoying, called “The One Thing”, is all about.It has me thinking how I can best use my time right now. I'm taking care of a baby and home and trying to do work at the same time. It's not easy. It really requires focusing on ONE thing at a time. Can I do it?

Celtic Artist Spotlight

Homepage: http://www.sligorags.com
CD: If the Skies Be Ablize
Year Released: 2015
Hometown: Long Beach, CA, USA
Description: The darlings of Disneyland’s “Paradise Garden Bandstand,”  this dynamic ensemble presents Celtic Folk (and so much more) with a decidedly bluegrass attitude. Named among the top acoustic bands in LA (by Folkworks Magazine) and two-time winners of the Orange County Music Award for Best Folk Band, Sligo Rags is taking the local and notso-local Folk and Celtic music scenes by storm with a unique blend of eclectic musical influences. Dan Miller of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine says “These guys have it all–great vocals, lots of energy, captivating songs, well executed arrangements, and tasteful solos.” Their debut studio recording, “The Night Before the Morning After”, was called “the best I've heard from a stateside band” by Celtic Beat Magazine, while their sophomore effort, “The Whiskey Never Lies,” (called “the best from the West Coast Celts in many years” by Shay Clark of the Irish American News), was named one of the top 10 of 2008 by Folkworks.
