Celtic, But Human
I was flamed today. And I deserved it. A couple weeks ago, I made a post about Celtic Thunder. It’s a new… let’s say, show, because it’s not really a band. It’s a lot like Celtic Women, and I admit, I’m not a huge fan of theirs. So when I saw this latest… addition… to […]

From Doc Grauzer: Hello all! Thought I’d send out the word about a new music shop called “Fiddler’s Green”, which is at 1809 West 35th Street, pretty much across the street from Things Celtic. They just opened up on Monday, and I found them just today when I went to see Kimberly at work. So–a […]

Orange Kitten’s Mew (Lyrics, parody “May Morning Dew”)
by Karen D. Mitchell The cats we find are sometimes the sweetest cats on the planet in this parody of “May Morning Dew” from my CD, Whiskers in the Jar: Irish Songs for Cat Lovers. One sunny June morning as I played in the grass, I heard a loud meowing beneath my neighbor’s house. When […]
