...my cat, Collette, also has the good taste to knead her paws in time to jigs and reels--very appropriate on St. Patrick's Day.
I've listened to a lot of Celtic music this month; I've heard a lot of Solas, Altan, Niamh Parsons, and Mary Black, among others. Surprisingly, though, I haven't gotten to anything by The Chieftains or any version of "Danny Boy."
Fortunately, there's still time. First, though, there's Seamus Egan's entire "When Juniper Sleeps" CD of instrumentals to play in its entirety. Listen to it yourself, and take in Egan's joyous, life-affirming "Masons Apron/My Love Is In America" and fanciful, seemingly Pat Metheny-influenced "Along The Way," and see how much more upbeat life feels to you.
