Thank you for posting on my blog and leaving a great comment. I started listening to Celtic music the same way you did. My oldest daughter, when she was in high school, around 1987, had a tape, yes I said tape lol, of Enya. I heard it and asked her what it was. I listened to it, loved it and when I got my first computer, one of the things I did was do some research of Irish music… and the restthey say is history. We go to the Milwaukee Irish fest every year and that is the only music we listen to in the house. As a matter of fact, today, we just got back from seeing Gaelic Storm. Braved the Wisconsin winter storm. It was worth it though…

I started reading your piece about peace. Was there an irony to read an Irishman writing about peace? I am not sure the history of the world did not contain the lesson that peace was never to be achieved on earth. If it was, why the need to die?
I think it was Chaim Potok ho wrote: “Something that is yours forever is never really precious.”
There seems a lot of hooligans drunk on the concept of peace, without giving the proper amount of thought that went behind whatever it is that creates true peace. I do believe people who have lived through turbulent times are the best dedicated teachers — a lot like the best counselors dealing with addictions are those who have lived with them.
I could not help but reflect upon the question of a young kid, in his first vacation trip abroad, about trying to reach a destination.
“So how long was this gonna take?”

Hello there Baxter!
Just discovered your page via a Facebook mention by Anita Daly. Can’t believe I hadn’t bumped into you yet. I’ve been working in support of Irish, Scottish, and American artists with those roots for several years now. I live in New England, work as far south as Florida, west to Chicago/Milwaukee, with occasional trips over The Pond. Hope to be able to meet you someday. Until then, I’ll look forward to keeping up via social media. Best to you!

Thank you for putting this site together! I agree with much of what you say here, especially about the mainstream generally ignoring (or maybe just not knowing about) folk music and all of its derivatives. I also support what you say about musicians only being able to make a pure-quality kind of music when the moneyhead executives keep their noses out of it 😉
I hope this site is still going strong – I’ve seen a recent post of Moya Brennan’s tour dates for 2018, so I’m hoping it is! If you’re looking for any recommendations of new bands, I can make a couple of suggestions (one example that comes to mind is Ten Strings and A Goat Skin, from PEI, Canada). Plus, there’s my own music, in the genre of “Celtic folk-rock”, with an example song here:
I hope to hear back from those who believe in keeping the spirit of folk alive. Keep the faith, people!
