Here's something worth knowing. Clean energy is now the cheapest source of new electricity in most of the world. Solar. Wind. Battery storage. The technology works. The prices are down. There is no good reason to keep burning fossil fuels except one: money. Fossil fuel companies spend millions lobbying politicians to block clean energy policy. That investment pays off for them. It does not pay off for the rest of us. We get higher energy costs, dirtier air, and a planet that keeps warming. So here's what you can do. Contact your elected representatives. Tell them you want clean energy policies that put people first. Not corporate profits. Your voice matters. Use it. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

Jennifer Van Boxel emailed: "Mark, I just finished listening to episode #749, Celtic Protest Songs, and I want to thank you for using your specialized platform to say things that really need to be said these days. Thank you for taking the financial hit to bring those songs to us. I am already a Patreon, and I had been debating whether or not to renew my year subscription when it runs out in a couple months. This episode has persuaded me to continue to monetarily support this podcast. I also appreciate the Pride Month specials you've done in the past, emphasizing that Celtic music is a space for everyone." Shel O'Toole commented on Patreon: "Good for you Marc, it's important to call out hate and bigotry when we see it. Governments like to dehumanise those they either don't understand or choose to see as an enemy. That way they can go to war without feeling any conscience about killing other people. I believe love is the most powerful universal force and it's love that should be promoted, not fear and hatred." Frank Higgins replied to my email about How do you celebrate Celtic culture through music?: "My wife plays at a session at a pub every week. We've also gone to ireland twice with Kevin Burke on a music tour with a group of people."

Life was tough for lumberjacks in the 1800s. Stuck in the middle of nowhere, often in brutal living conditions, the men of Minnesota's logging camps often had little relief from the dangerous, daily grind of logging season. Frank Higgins spent decades traveling to these isolated camps, bringing sermons, hymns and inspiration. In today's episode, the guys dive into the story of the world's first sky pilot.

In February 2019 Queen's GAA celebrated the 60th anniversary of its first Sigerson Cup triumph. It was the first time that cup had visited Ulster as Queen's defeated perennial contenders UCD.

The Queen's team that year was: Seán O’Kane, Peter Smith (Derry), Christy Mallon (RIP) (Tyrone), Phil Stuart (Derry), Seán O'Neill (Down), Patsy McDonald, Séamus McMahon, Henry McRory John O’Neill, Tom Scullion (Derry), Barney McNally, Paddy McGuckian, Mick Brewster (RIP) (Fermanagh), Frank Higgins, Gerry O’Neill (Derry), Charlie Murphy, Leo O’Neill (Derry), Eamonn Flanigan Dessie O’Rourke, Kevin Halpenny, Paddy O’Hara (Manager, RIP) (Antrim), Hugh O’Kane (Captain), Dr John Macaulay (RIP), Seamus Mallon, Brendan Donaghy.
Roz White and Teresa Castracane play singer Pearl and Library of Congress researcher Susannah respectively, in Depression-era Texas, in the stage play Black Pearl Sings! playing through May 29, 2016 at Center Stage in Alexandria, VA. White and Castracane stop by Inside Acting to talk about their roles and the show. Dial 347.884.8997 to speak with the guest or the host. From DC Metro Theater Arts: Politics, whether personal or political often divides us. These differences come to light when two women with out-sized personalities meet in Depression-era Texas in a prison: Susannah Mullally (Teresa Castracane) is a White Musicologist who works for the Library of Congress, she’s a woman “who gets things done!” She has no children. Alberta “Pearl” Johnson (Roz White) is a Black prisoner for the last 10 years, in for murder; she has a 22 year-old daughter in Houston. Featuring 19 songs, Black Pearl Sings! by playwright Frank Higgins, which runs through May 29th at MetroStage in Alexandria, Virginia, is not only an exploration of the strong personalities of these two women slicing into and reconciling with one another, it is a musical display of fine singing that moves the heart and instructs. With celestial voices, Castracane and White are two incandescent stars that have created an exceptional two-woman musical.
