About Me A Celtic Musician, I love to travel around and share my music at faires and festivals. I am mom to 5 and grand to 10 now living in Arizona with a dear man!

Vices Getting caught up in the Muse (but its really other folks that think that is a vice!) Sometimes there is a little too much mead? Naw! no such thing, right?

Virtues Sometimes there is a little too much mead? Naw! no such thing, right? *grins* Playful, creative & rather inventive... plays well alone or with others!

Round and round, her path doth go....

Where will she rest? Does anyone know?

Well, here I sit in the lovely high plains of Wyoming... Closest faire is Colorado, I think! Life in Arizona did not work out as I hoped, and when my daughter, Dawn, needed my help with the new baby, I took the opportunity.

I will be sorry not to see the desert Faire, but it isn't an option when I don't have my own car. Little Windsong, the Subaru, did not survive the harsh treatment on the way from Texas to Arizona, so I am praying for a new carriage in the future.

The music has been flowing here, though. My daughter and granddaughter both sing, and we are working with Dawn's wonderful husband, Joe, to put together a family group. I've written two new songs... one for kids and one love song. I am also sending off a CD of my stuff to Jimmy Crowley, the Irish song collector. I met him at the festival in Lake Charles, and he asked me to share my music with him!

So, considering where I am now, what are my best recommendations for Faire now? Any ideas?

Grand Doings in Lake Charles!

Greetings to Everyone! It's off to the Celtic Nations Heritage Festival for me! I will be playing solo there, billed as a Celtic Balladeer - which is a very high title when it comes to that Festival!

There is a huge memorial for Tommy Makem on Oct 12, and I have been invited to be onstage for it, and to sing a verse or two solo! Check out the Festival site, and if you are anywhere close, please come out and enjoy the music and fun!

The Celtic Nations Heritage Festival Website

The Festival is at the Civic Center in Lake Charles, Louisiana. It starts Friday eveing, Oct. 12 and goes till Sunday Evening, Oct. 14. You can see all the folks that will be playing under Music on the website! (Yup... I am there too!) It is one of the best festivals I have been to, and very worthy of attending! I hope to see some of you there... Let me know you are from Renspace!

Hugs from the wee traveling Bard!
