Hi All!
Haven't dropped by in a while. I'm recently back in Canada after
living in England and Greece for a year total. Now that I'm home, I'm
excited to see Raylene is coming my way again on October 13.
I had a terrific "Celtic music fix" while I was abroad. I went to the
Ceolas music school for a week. No Rankins around but some great
musicians from Nova Scotia joined their Scottish counterparts. Kinnon
and Betty Beaton (If only their daughter Andrea were there too!) and
Troy MacGillivray are some of my favourite NS musicians, and new to me
were Angus and Kenneth MacKenzie. Anyway....there's a pretty thorough
account of it all here: http://trionatrog.blogspot.com/2006/07/one-
crowded-week-of-glorious-life.html
Alright, gotta practice those dance steps because with Mairi Rankin
and Mac Morin playing alonside Raylene, there's no telling what might
happen on the floor! ;-)
