I've been in overdrive since January and Mardi Gras madness of New Orleans has just added to it. Now St. Patrick's Day is just a few weeks away, and I still have SO much to do. It is never ending! Just what have I done? BEST OF THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST http://celticmusicpodcast.com/best_of_icmp_compilation.shtml Just off the heals of Best of show #61 of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast I spent the last month compiling the next compilation CD from the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine and the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. It is indeed called "Best of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. The album features 17 tracks of music, much like what you would hear on any episode of the podcast (except longer). There's music from FIMM, Sligo Rags, Banshee in the Kitchen, Jed Marum with Hugh Morrison and Mason Brown, Poitin, MacTalla Mor, Ceann, Anne Roos, Athas, Beth Patterson, Jesse Ferguson, Maidens IV, Rattle the Boards, Jamie Laval and Ashley Broder, Patrick's Head, Pitch the Peat, and Marc Gunn. These are my picks of some of the best songs and performances that have come across my path over the past year and more. It's an oustanding mix! The CD is now off to the printers. Unfortunately, I don't *think* I'll have it in time for St. Patrick's Day. However, you can download it free, right here, in this magazine in a couple weeks. Or better yet, support the podcast and by downloading the MP3s right now. You can do so by making a donation to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. Want a free copy of the CD...
