- Just like the Irish. Give them four days off and some money, and they'll head for the sun!

- Honest to God worst winter, and longest winter EVER! Global warming, my butt. Finally, just within the last two weeks, spring has arrived---and yesterday, we had our first day that bordered on hot! Gorgeous today. Big Irish festivsal this weekend---Teada, Bohola, and The Bridies will be the best of the lot. Gaelic Park. Runs today through Memorial Day.

- Oops. Alan Parker is from Australia.

- Yeah/ A guy I met here on the site, Alan Parker, is from Alaska. I hipped him to them, and he LOVES them!! It would have to be something REALLY obscure not to have them get it to you---and a lot, lot quicker than the time frame you were talking about. They'll mail it out the same day you call. How's the weather?

- True. Trust me. There is SO much crap out there. RAMPANT LION. You'll see.
- At 7:07pm on May 21, 2009,
- Rampant has EVERYTHINH---you will NOT believe! Trust me. Best in America. Call 'em. 630-834-8108 Don't know the album, but Dathi Sproule is terrific. His latest is The Crow in the Sun.

- Dathi Sproule (Dahee Sprool) is a wonderful guitar player from Minneapolis---a native of Northern Ireland. Rampant Lion is an INCREDIBLE Celtic Music store down here. They have EVERYTHING. Great people, also. Jack and Gayle Baker. Here is the link---you should use them!!
http://www.rampantlion.com/
If you call or contact them, tell them I recommended you! Might save you a buck!
- At 6:42pm on May 20, 2009,
- Sandy---are you also hip to Rampant Lion?
B
BTW--Liz's first album was with Dathi Sproule, somewhere around 39 or more years ago. The cover is a stitch---but lots of Liz fans say it is her best---though strictly for purists!!
Profile Information
- Hometown:
- Anchorage, Alaska
- About Me:
- I've lived in Alaska my whole life...born and raised. I did leave the state for school tho.
I have always been facinated with Ireland...perhaps because of it's history...or maybe an old family link (only about an 8th or 16th Irish along with about 56 other things...a bit of a mutt I guess). Either way, I have had the oportunity to go there twice and loved it both times. I would love to go there again for a longer period of time, but financially that does not seem so possible.
Ah well, a girl can dream right?
I have a BS in Anthropology/Archaeology so the history facinates me greatly.
Becides that...90% of the people I met and talked to were kind and warm. I loved hearing stories (be they true or not) and the music, seeing the scenery, wandering around, and trying to blend in as much as possible!! :-P
- Favorite Music:
- All kinds!
- Currently Reading? (Books Magazines etc)
- World Without End
- Favourite Place?
- So many!! But to narrow it down...In Ireland = Achill Island, quite possibly Gielty's. Here at home = on sofa in front of fire with a good book! :-)

So - To Ireland I went.
I guess I didn't really try hard enough for the man, but to my defence I was distracted by other things...like Butlers Chocolate stores!!! Oh my word, their mochas are the best (especially if you ask for marshmellows on top) and they give you a lovely little piece of chocolate just for ordering something!
It was a whorlwind trip, and except for the cold I had a great time!
I'll try to get some pictures up s… Continue
