great Celtic CDs by several different artists. The drawing will
be made on Valentine's Day February 14th. How many CDs?
At least 10 from a Variety of Celtic artists I'll have a list in a

Canon PowerShot S30
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005QFZF/thebards/

I got the camera a couple days ago and have been trying it
out. It is fantastic! It has ton of features from the typical
red-eye removal to AVI video recording. Plus, it works
great for taking low light shots. Unlike past digital cameras
I've used this one has a lot of customization features, as if
you wanted to take a 35mm picture. I love that. But it's just
as easy to get up and start shooting snapshots to upload to
your computer. Fantastic camera!

2. Ed Miller - "The Devil Made Texas"
http://mp3.com/SongsOfScotland?cm
http://www.songsofscotland.com
=================================================

Ed Miller found his start in the folk clubs of Scotland
during the 60's Scottish Folk Revival. He then moved
to Austin, Texas where he got a doctorate in
Ethnomusicology, that is, the study of music in cultures.
Since then, he has become one of the best folklorists
and preservations of original and traditional Scottish
folk music. And if you ever want to see an incredible
live performance, you have to see Ed Miller perform!

One of the things Ed has done is to follow the migration
of Celtic music to Texas. One such song is "The Devil
Made Texas". The tune is based off the "Irish
Washerwoman", but with some hilarious lyrics that
tell the folk origins of Texas. It features the incredible
musicianship of John Taylor and Rich Brotherton.

3. HOT CELTIC MUSIC CDS & MORE
"28 Irish Pub Songs" by The Clancy Brothers
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000000L2N/thebards
=================================================

Many, many people who first heard traditional Irish
songs, heard them from The Clancy Brothers. This
collection by the Clancys and Tommy Makem contains
over two dozen songs that have become the staple for
most pub bands from "The Moonshiner" to "Rising
of the Moon", "Foggy Dew" to "The Parting Glass."
It's a rousing collection at price that can not be
beat!

Music from the Celtic Music CD Store http://www.CelticMusic.org/

4. Keltic Kaleidoscope - "Johnny MacEldoo"
http:/mp3.com/KelticK?cm
=================================================

Keltic Kaleidoscope has been with MP3.com for a long
time. I'm kinda amazed that they haven't put together a
regular website too as their music is well-received by all
who hear it. The band plays mainly a variety of Celtic
and American folk songs using two- and three-part
harmonies. A few songs are performed a capella, but
most have instrumental accompaniment, and they also
perform a few classical works.

"Johnny MacEldoo" is one of those that is done a cappella.
It's a comical vocal stumble that gets faster and faster
about a man who goes on a spree with some friends.
I'll tell ye. It took me several listens to finally figure out
what the guy is saying. Beautiful lyrical rhythm.

Texas has been promoting Celtic music throughout the

directories of Celtic venues and have an impressive list of
Celtic links around the world. They also host the North
Texas Irish Festival every first weekend of March.
