JB celebrates Word Whisky Day with songs inspired by a drop of the craythur . . from the likes of Bellowhead, Ruth Keggin and Rachel Hair and Mississippi Fred McDowell

J B Keig published a booklet in 1933 of nicknames used by the inhabitants of Ballaugh between 1860 and 1900, when there were unrelated families with the same surname and forenames were often of a small range, so people were identified individually, often in relation to their father and grandfathers. In Bram Stoker's Dracula, Professor Van Helsing is explaining the history of Count Dracula to the friends who have come together to try to hunt him out and, if possible, to destroy him. But who might be listening in?

We learn a little more about Captain John Taubman of The Nunnery, before David Robertson points out other fine houses for hospitality in the neighbourhood of Douglas - Captain Southcote's Ballaughton, Lord Henry Murray's Atholl-lodge on Port-e-Chee and The Hague in Onchan, formerly the home of the late Richard Betham. We return to Captain Taubman for his work in agriculture. Professor Van Helsing has arranged for some flowers to be sent for Lucy Westenra from his friend's glasshouse in Haarlem. Lucy is rather nonplussed to find that they're garlic, but the Professor assures her it's no joke and that he and Dr John Seward will decorate her room with them and make a wreath to wear round her neck.

When it comes to caring for our bodies, most of us know that we should be doing a little bit of everything — from eating healthy foods to getting regular exercise, to taking care of our skin. But when it comes to specifically taking care of the hair down there, many women don't know where to start. Today we discuss the lack of vaginal and skincare products aimed at women of color and how our guest is bridging this gap and allowing these women to take care of their pubic area without feeling dazed and confused. Dr. Cynthia Wesley is a practicing physician and an entrepreneur; she is the founder and CEO of Beauty Below, a product line and resource for intimate wellness and beauty for women with dark skin and course hair. Dr. Wesley, or Dr. Cyn, as she is known, is a true warrior for women, and she has used her negative experience dating back to her college years to assist other women in identifying and resolving any issues ‘below the waist'. Stay tuned to find out what products Beauty Below offers, how women of color differ in the area ‘down there', and how Dr. Cyn fights to empower women of color on a daily basis! You can subscribe or listen to previous episodes of the Busine$$ of the V podcast by clicking here. TOPICS COVERED: Meet Dr. Cynthia Wesley, the founder and CEO of a company called Beauty Below. Her company's hashtag, #BlackVaginaConfidence, speaks volumes about their goals and objectives. According to Dr. Wesley, women of color are more prone to ingrown hairs, dark sports, bacterial vaginosis, and other similar issues. The most important goal is to give women of color confidence and education about their intimate space so that healthcare disparities can be addressed. Just like many other vagipreneurs, Dr. Wesley started this company based on personal experience, as she had been struggling with pubic hair since college. The essential products at Beauty Below are a medicated shave moose, an ingrown hair serum, and pads for dark sports ‘down there'. Dweck wants to know how product formulations were developed and who was involved in the process. There are several differences between white women and women of color when it comes to the area below the waist, which inspired Dr. Wesley to write a book titled Beauty Below, where women can find all sorts of tips and medical advice for properly treating their vaginas. Bacterial vaginosis is directly related to vitamin D deficiency; in other words, if you're having problems down there, check your vitamin D first! Dweck adds a few more topics to the discussion, including douching, boric acid, and probiotics. Your diet is also very important for your vaginal health since it directly affects the health of your entire body. According to Rachel, Beauty Below launched in July, and Dr. Wesley adds that the products are available on the company's website. Wesley is still in practice and she's also running her business, so Dr. Dweck is astounded and wants to know how she does it. Rachel is curious about the origins of the ingredients and the products, and we learn that all products are made in the United States, and all labs are certified. Since this is an ongoing debate, Dr. Dweck asks the following question: Hair or bare down there? Wesley treats all women as if they were close family members, doing her best to help and educate them on their intimate space. Apart from the website, you can also find Beauty Below on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. As for the latest products, Beauty Below has just released their booty bundle, which includes a booty mask, a sugar scrub, and a shower loofah. HOT FLASH: It seems that approximately 80% of women ages 18-65 report that they remove some of all of their pubic hair.   QUOTES: “All women have suffered over the years with the negative connotations that can be associated with our most intimate space, and sometimes that's exacerbated in women of color.” (Dr. Wesley) “I feel that it's very important that women of color are confident in their intimate space, confident with being okay with speaking up and learning what they need to learn.” (Dr. Wesley) “I started researching what works and what doesn't work; I was my personal Guinea pig. And what evolved was Beauty Below.” (Dr. Wesley) “I found out that women of color actually have a different type of lactic acid than white women, and that particular lactic acid has a higher pH, which makes you a little bit more prone to bacterial vaginosis.” (Dr. Wesley) “There was a huge study done at the University of Pittsburgh, and what they discovered is that bacterial vaginosis is directly tied to vitamin D deficiency.” (Dr. Wesley) “I imagine the trust and the connection to your users is critically important and that they want to know where the ingredients are sourced from and where the products are made.” (Rachel) “Hair or bare down there? In my neck of the woods, it seems there's just not that much hair to deal with, and I don't think this is a trend that's going away anytime soon.” (Dr. Dweck) “If you want to do a little bit more down there, for whatever reason, I'm okay with that. You just need to know what your risks are.” (Dr. Wesley) “You have such a clear vision of who you want to help, how you want to help and, very importantly, the tone of the conversation that you want to have.” (Rachel) “Educating women is the cornerstone of Beauty Below.” (Dr. Wesley) FURTHER RESOURCES: Beauty Below www.beautybelowmd.com Dr. Wesley @Linkedin  LINKS FOR BUSINE$$ OF THE V: Website: www.businessofthev.com Twitter : @businessofthev Instagram : @businessofthev Subscribe to our Youtube channel : Business of the V - YouTube Dr. Alyssa Dweck: https://drdweck.com Rachel Braun Scherl: Home - Rachel Braun Scherl

My guest today is harpist Tiffany Schaefer. Tiffany is a harp teacher and performer based in Ohio. During our chat we discussed the Ohio Scottish Arts School, or OSAS for short, and how, “music is bringing people together and [how] it is ageless that way.” Tiffany grew up in a musical family and started playing the harp in 2007. Her involvement in OSAS and The Scottish Harp Society of America (SHSA) brought her into the world of Scottish traditional music.The first harp album she found in her local library was by Sue Richards and she became inspired by Sue's playing. You could imagine Tiffany's surprise when Sue was one of her adjudicators at her first OSAS's harp competition! We talk about many of the amazing harpists who have inspired her, many of whom have been interviewed on this podcast folks like: Rachel Hair, Corrina Hewat, Kim Robertson and more...make sure to check out those episodes in our archives.On competition: Although it can be nerve wracking, “It's a great way to work toward something and get some feedback from people who know what they are talking about.”Tiffany is passionate about creating community, something that we here at HarpSong™️ and Moon Over the Trees are as well. Tiffany's hope for her free FB group, “Mastering Celtic Music”, is that it will, “grow into a hub for Celtic music and all different kinds of instrumentalists...not just harpists.” You can also check out her Patreon page for classes, and arrangements for the harp. On performing:Tiffany performs as a soloist and accompanies her own singing and storytelling. Right now she has two ensembles, one plays Renaissance and Baroque repertoire and the other is an Irish Traditional group called, Creggane. Check out her youtube page for more information.

My guest this week is harpist Rachel Clemente. Rachel is a New England based pedal and traditional Scottish harpist. I met Rachel at The Somerset Folk Harp Festival. We have so many harpist friends in common who have influenced and inspired her music. Artists like: Dominique Dodge, Rachel Hair, Kim Robertson and Corrina Hewat to name a few. Catch my earlier interviews with these and other amazing harpists to get inspired by them as well. Rachel started playing harp at the age of five and thanks to the Ohio Scottish Arts School she became interested in Scottish music. She studied pedal harp at The Interlochen Arts Academy then went on to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow with a bachelor's degree in traditional Scottish music. Some of Rachel's accolades include U.S National Scottish Harp Champion in 2016 and the winner of Princess Margaret of the Isles Clàrsach Competition (USA) in 2021.Rachel, based in New England, now focuses on performing, teaching harp and composing. She frequently performs as a duo with piper Dan Houghton. Rachel is working on an album that should be released some time in 2022, but in the meantime check out Rachel's Youtube channel and her 2018 release, A Quiet Uniqueness.Enjoy my conversation with Rachel.

Welcome to Harp Column Podcasts, where we go behind the stories in Harp Column with host Kristina Finch. In this episode, we talk to our March-April 2021 cover interviewee, Rachel Hair.

All music [...] The post Harp Column Podcast Episode 75 appeared first on Harp Column.

In this episode I have a lovely chat with Scottish harpist, Rachel Hair, and Manx singer Ruth Keggin. Rachel and Ruth are planning on recording an album of Manx songs later this year. Their crowdfunder is still up if you would like to be a part of making their new album. Some of the gifts to supporters include: early access to the album or you can pledge for harp lessons or Manx language singing lessons. Rachel has even offered to make Scottish Tablet to send to folks in the UK for a pledge. Scottish Tablet is a bit like fudge. We discuss this tasty sweet in the interview and how making it is its own workout. Ruth is also offering to do calligraphy artwork in Manx lyrics for anyone interested in pledging at that level. At the time this episode is airing the Edinburgh International Harp Festival will have just ended, but there are still some videos up on their website and a harp themed merchandise page. So, if you'd like to support the festival, head on over and pick up a harp tea towel, jewelry, music books, or harp stained glass.There is so much wonderful information in this episode for you to explore.

Bob Carswell delivers a weekly programme of great Manx Gaelic broadcasting and entertainment. We return to William Gell's 1906 poem, 'Mannin Veg Veen : A Poetical Sketch of the Isle of Man', and he takes us from Malew Church into Castletown for Canto IX 'The Rushen Epic'. Our story in Manx is full of violence and bloodshed (for comedy effect). As nyn giaull : DAOIRI FARRELL - Bound for Van Dieman's Land : MERA ROYLE - Mylecharaine's March/Moirrey ny Gainle : CAARJYN COOIDJAGH - Ballakilpheric : NEIL CLARK - Morag of Dunvegan/Merrily kissed the Quaker/The hen's march : LORS LANDAT & THOMAS MOISSON - Kimiad soudard ar Republik : DAVID KILGALLON - Wandescope/Hunt the wren/Fathaby jig : RANDY WILSON - My old man : RACHEL HAIR & RON JAPPY - The road to Jurby/Sunset squatters

Bob Carswell delivers a weekly programme of great Manx Gaelic broadcasting and entertainment. This week we look ahead to the many events of Yn Chruinnaght's Celtic Gathering 2019 from Monday 15th to Sunday 21st July. You can find out more at www.celticgathering.im or through Facebook and Twitter. Our story in Manx is of a soul set free amidst the turmoil of a war-torn Flanders. As nyn giaull : JAMIE SMITH'S MABON - Summer's lament : SCOOT - Constantine : THE MOLLAG BAND - Graih my chree : NEIL CLARK - Leaving Glenurquhart/The white sands of Mersah Matruh : DAOIRI FARRELL - The Galway shawl : RACHEL HAIR & RON JAPPY - Mera's delight : CLASH VOOAR - Lhig y bullad : LORS LANDAT & THOMAS MOISSON - Edan dek miz/An meliner

Bob Carswell delivers a weekly programme of great Manx Gaelic broadcasting and entertainment. In a timely fashion, William Gell's 1906 poem has brought us to St John's for the fair. However, he gives us a conundrum in referring to 'Glenfaba Bob', when none of the coroners at that time were named Robert at that time. He also gives us a glimpse of industrial history, with the fishing in Peel and the mining in Foxdale, before describing the beauty of the countryside, but also the destruction of a 20 or 30 tonne granite boulder - Godred Crovan's Stone - in St Mark's, broken up in the 1820s. Our story in Manx takes us to the finance industry, and some children who are perhaps strangely enthralled with their grandfather's tales of team leadership.

Bob Carswell delivers a weekly programme of great Manx Gaelic broadcasting and entertainment. We're on the north with William Gell, as his 1906 poem takes us to Lezayre, Ballaugh and Kirk Michael. It's easy to forget that the Snaefell Mountain Railway was only about 10 years old at the time of his poem. Our story in Manx is a re-working of King Lear, loosening it with injections of humour, though some of the humour in the original was from the incongruous bad language, which doesn't translate into Manx. As nyn giaull : LORS LANDAT - Ur maligorn dindan at glav ; RACHEL HAIR & RON JAPPY - Mera's ; RANDY WILSON - Stewball ; NEIL CLARK - Jigs ; DAOIRI FARRELL TRIO - The unquiet grave ; MERA ROYLE - Mylecharaine's March ; THE MOLLAG BAND - Nice sunny day one ; JAMIE SMITH'S MABON - The ridiculous thinker
