While listening to "The Thistle & Shamrock" radio show, the wording of the host's introduction got my attention.
"Hello again, it's The Thistle & Shamrock," the host said. "I'm Fiona Ritchie, and you're very welcome."
"That's interesting," I thought. "Interpreted one way, it could mean that a 'Thank you for the music we're about to hear,' from the audience is implied. Most likely, though, its intended meaning is, 'You're welcome to stay tuned and listen.'"
Actually, I'm fine with either interpretation. Why not be thankful for a weekly hour of thoughtfully composed, played, and sung Celtic music?
