I found the song... Thanks to Google... Don't know the one you mention... but can do a good rendition... (loud, and very probably eccentric) of Big and Rich's - Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy... grin

Ughh noo that's self mutilation to have that song stuck in your head. I'll just try humming the theme of Gilligan's Island a few times. :D

Yes, the teardrop one did turn out a bit heavier than I remembered... I'm always happy to save a horse though.. grin.. my gym uses that track for the biceps bit of the pump class... grin. It's an all girls gym and the ladies rise to the occasion with gusto. Gilligan's Island - that'll work!!

You wanna kick them blues

Now that's a complex song, Val !! When I first read it, I took 'take her out' as having her whacked.. then I thought, gosh no.. it means 'take her out' - then again, does it.. too hard.. Sheryl - how did you go at the dentist's??? I'm still singing Groovy Kind of Love... (in spite of having the Chieftains 'Bells of Dublin' CD on, unseasonally playing Chrissie carols.

Hi Nomad !! I'm a very big Chieftains fan. Especially of their earlier recordings (have all of them) - when they were playing only traditional Irish music. Have been to several concerts of theirs. I'll have to look for their version of She Moved Through the Fair.

The early recordings were just labelled Chieftains 1, kinda thing. What they did really, was revive traditional music, take it out of the pub, and present it as musicians to other musicians. They were phenomenal.

I really like the Irish thing. Very soulful and kinda sad. I dont know why I like sad music but I do. You've peaked my interest now.

I love it too, Nomad. Did a couple of years of Irish language at one time, and my final culture dissertation was on Uillean Pipes. The image of the piper, sitting on his own on a rock looking out to sea - the wild Atlantic - and playing a lament... for all the woes of suffering humanity - has stuck with me always. I'm a flute player and have occasionally been lucky enough to jam with a piper, Sometimes I climb one of the hills here and sit in the bush on a rock and play a tin whistle (the flute doesn't do well in the breeze up on the hill - the tin whistle just about copes.. the wind seizes the notes and sort of spins them inside out).

That sounds very serene, my niece has a flute sitting in her closet, I keep meaning to ask her if she would sell it to me. I love love the flute, its whispers in the wind that carry you away...........................

You play flute !!! WOW. I have a silver Emerson, traditional mechanism etc, nice tone.. then a couple of years ago I was at the National Folk Festival here in Canberra and ran into a flutemaker... who had brought with him three of his creations. I fell in love with one of them instantly - made from a dense Queensland redwood.. it was only part played in. Beautiful insturment!!!!!!! Rich earthy timbre. It sings..

It went ok. Gotta go back on 21st for a cleaning and thorough check up. :(

I have a CD of Celtic Lullibies that I played for my children when they were babies. I loved it. The voices were so soothing.
