Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic.net Ken emailed: "Marc, I enjoy listening to your downloaded podcast while baking the morning breads at our local bakery and while being the outside greeter at church.  The music puts a smile on my face and spring in my step.  I am especially interested in your celtic invasion trips because vacations of this type are exactly what my wife and I want to do in retirement.  Have you visited a place quiet enough for senior citizens who love bicycle riding?" Ben Q emailed: "Hi Marc, I don't think I've ever been asked a direct question on a podcast before! To answer your question about what episode and when it was that Niamh told this story, it was is in show #552: Reel Fairies, and her story starts around the 47:53 mark. It's totally worth a re - listen; she is so funny. Also wow, yep, that episode was almost two years ago. Time flies!" Patrick Rieger sent Some More Irish Pictures: "Hello Marc, A few more photos to share. First up, a few of Terry Griffith, the last few times he was on a stage with an in - person audience at Mullaney's Harp and Fiddle. One is from the 2020 fundraiser for the Pittsburgh Saint Patrick's Day Parade on February 13, 2020, and another is from his gig on February 28, 2020. Within a few weeks, the words Covid and Coronavirus quickly became part of our daily vocabulary, and the shows came to an end for a couple of years. On June 4, 2022, we had a retirement party for Terry. The best part of the night is when he strapped on a guitar and led the packed pub in A Health to the Company. There were tears and cheers for him throughout the evening, but most came during that special song. The last photo is from tonight, January 27, 2024. John McCann on acoustic guitar and Hamish on percussion packed the Harp & Fiddle. Lots of great music and an interactive audience.”  

Benjamin Logan Griffith, known to his loved ones as Ben, passed away on Sunday, December 24, 2023, in Richmond, Virginia at the age of 42. Born on June 10, 1981, at Henrico Doctors Hospital, Ben was a gentleman who dearly loved his family and friends. All who met him instantly liked him for his happy and generous nature. Ben is survived by his two beloved daughters Taylor and Khloe Griffith; parents Ron and Terry Griffith; brother Joseph Griffith; grandmother Jerri Sherrill; aunt Sharon Sherrill; aunt/uncle Sharon and Donald Griffith in addition to a small army of cousins, nephews, and nieces....Article LinkSupport the show

Patrick Rieger sent pictures from PITTSBURGH: "Hi Marc, Thank you so much for so many years of the podcast, Marc, and the invitation to share pictures of Irish musicians we are enjoying this Summer. I look forward to each episode. My wife and play it in the car and at home. This is John McCann, on stage at Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle Irish Pub in Pittsburgh, on July 15. John is a regular there, and my family, friends and I always enjoy his shows. John is helping to teach our 11 year old son how to properly clap along to what our late friend, Terry Griffith, described, in jest, as annoying Irish audience participation songs. Our son doesn't have the timing down yet but he is getting better. His favorite is Whiskey in the Jar. Casey Deely joined John on stage for a couple of songs that night. There are plenty more shows to go to before Summer ends, so if you want more photos just let me know. And if you ever find yourself in Pittsburgh, my wife and I will gladly introduce you to our favorite irish pub." Sophie Wildman - Gurung emailed: "Dear Marc, I thought I'd write as I've been listening to your podcast this afternoon as I tie up the first plants in my new garden in Somerset (UK) in holes kindly dug by my magical friend Bangles (Woodland Folk). It was Bangles who first introduced me to your podcast shortly after we first met last November. We met when I was then living in Wells and he was busking 'Troika' by Sergei Prokofiev which was the peice of music I had been looking for, to fit in with 'I believe in Father Christmas' by Greg Lake, that I had been working on. Since then we have been jamming together regularly (mainly folk), often at his spot in the woods, sometimes around the folk nights nearby, with him on his fiddle and me on folk harp (22 strings) and singing. You recently played a recording he'd sent in of some crows so I thought I'd send in one he did of me playing a verse from 'Longlife and Sucess to the Farmer' (quite appropriate for this time of year and my afternoons activities although as an advocate of 'no - dig gardening' I'm not a fan of ploughs,) accompanied by probably the same crows  -  warning us if there are walkers nearby. Maybe with a bit more practise we'll get 'I believed in Father Christmas' together to send you, fingers crossed in time for Christmas! Really enjoying your podcasts, thank you. I've been a fan of Celtic music as long as I can remember. My family is originally from Cornwall which may have something to do with it and obviously lots of music for lever harp (which I've been playing since I was 10) is Celtic. So long may the podcast continue, play on! Kind regards" Woodland Folk sent some pictures and wrote: "Heard bout Ur scifirish on band camp.... inspired... One of the first videos I saw online when I had a skylark(not a violin or fiddle but I respect it greatly for teaching me the tentative mechanics),an Irish man with a fiddle on his knee, looking into the camera said "it's love".... Wisdom many could learn from..." woodland folk sent another photo: "I feel I have been out of the loop, looking forward to making up for this by listening back to a few old faithful episodes (man of the house/2 hour fiddle episode and all...) and a few new ones on a 9 hour coach trip to moffat in Scotland,to see my son who is now a strapping, baritone 17 yrs..... Time is an odd thing.... I tentatively tryed a little Fahey in wells yesterday, though simple with few embellishments....in a way the simplest tunes are the hardest to play,Irish washerwoman or silver spear are deceptive and pretty...... I find Music the grandest analogy for life..."

Sarah Fletcher replied: "Hi Marc, I am currently working while listening to the latest Celtic music podcast.  It helps me get through the day.  Thanks" Daniel Faigin emailed: "Well, first, I'd like to encourage you to go back to putting the show number in the show title. It helps with how I organize things in iTunes. What are you doing while listening? Generally, it is on in the background while I work, after I play off that day's playlist (not listened to in 3 years). If a song particularly captures my ear, I look up the artist and either purchase an album from them, or add it to my Amazon wish list. Found a number of great groups that way, through not only this podcast, but Mostly Folks and the Woodsongs podcast." Go to MageNetwork.com for more podcasts. PNiceberg emailed: "Hi Marc, Thanks for all your hard work and efforts. What are you doing while listening? Either working or out walking my dog and enjoying the fresh sounds of your show! I am listening to more Celtic music as well as trying my hand again at learning to play bagpipes!!!" Patrick Rieger emailed a photo and wrote: "Hi Marc, I have been listening to your podcast for years, having learned about it back in 2006 when you mentioned it on the Renaissance Festival podcast. Today I was listening to the Irish and Celtic Music podcast while airbrushing a small model of the starship Enterprise - D, and enjoying the early renaissance festival weather we were having here in Pittsburgh. I help promote Irish and Celtic culture by being an admin on the Facebook page, Celtic Pittsburgh, created by my friend and Irish musician, Susan Borowski, to spread the word about any events regarding Irish and Celtic culture in western Pennsylvania. Before that, I made the Facebook event for the late Terry Griffith, for his monthly show at Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle Irish Pub in Pittsburgh. Thank you for the many years of music and I look forward to many more."

Global Traffic Technologies Senior VP of Sales Terry Griffith joins the podcast to discuss a recently-released white paper from the company that describes how Internet of Things-based transportation, transit and public safety technology solutions can transform cities by enhancing safety, delivering efficiencies and reducing harmful pollutants.In the paper, GTT proposes six calls to action designed to improve road infrastructure and transit systems while prioritizing safety, health and equity. Today's episode focuses on the white paper's second call to action, in which GTT echoes President Biden's goal of reducing traffic accidents and eliminating traffic deaths entirely by advancing “Vision Zero” in communities nationwide.

I pounced on the moon and the stars all for fun. I leaped down from heaven, and I pounced on the earth. When I pounced my first mouse, I had my birth. Pounce, pounce, wherever you may be I am lord of the pounce, said he. I'll run under feet, wherever you may be. And I'll leap on you in the pounce, said he. I pounced on the papyrus of the Egyptians They wouldn't play so I stole their feather pens I pounced on the fish caught by James and John They fed me fish then the pounce went on. I pounced on the Sabbath, rubbed my head against the lame. Many people shook their head, said this feline was insane. I may rest from pouncing, do not think I am gone. For I just saw a rat, so the pounce goes on. I and my lady meowed a song across the plain The birds came down, and we pounced on each of them. On the bedchamber floor, I laid my carrion. Then I raced out the door and I pounced again. I dog jumped down, so I leapt up high. I have nine lives that will never, never die. I'll pounce on you though you bark at me I am the Lord of the Pounce, said he. Beggars to God performed by Jesse Linder from the album Easy & Free http://www.JesseLinder.Bandcamp.com The song of gypsy Davy rang delighted through the night, A wise and foolish virgin kept her candles burning bright, Rise up, my young and foolish one, and follow if you can, There'll be no need for hot candles in the arms of such a man. Make love to each other; be free with each other, Be prisoners of love 'til you lie in the sod, Be friends to each other, forgive one another, See God in each other, be beggars to God. The night was cold and dark and wet as they wandered on alone, The sky became their canopy, the earth became their throne, And as their raiment ran to rags, they thought it nothing wrong, For earth and sky are robe enough, when you sing the gypsy song. Make love to each other; be free with each other, Be prisoners of love 'til you lie in the sod, Be friends to each other, forgive one another, See God in each other, be beggars to God. They sang and played the gypsy song wherever they were sent, To some, it seemed a dancing tune; to some, a sad lament, But in every heart that heard it true, a tear became a smile, And a pauper or a prince became a gypsy for a while. Make love to each other; be free with each other, Be prisoners of love 'til you lie in the sod, Be friends to each other, forgive one another, See God in each other, be beggars to God.   Cyrus In The Moonlight performed by Empty Hats from the album The Hat Came Back https://www.emptyhats.com Oh the hills are full of spirits And they walk when night comes round And they speak to who they choose to When the moon is shining down And ramona loves the orchard And liza loves the pine And cyrus in the moonlight Loves the flowing of the wineOh cyrus trusts the spirits And they fill his life with grace Yeah the father of his fathers Passed him down the gift of faith And one night you might hear it Like a wailing from above It's just cyrus in the moonlight Singing to the one he loves...And the two girls start to dancing When they hear that drunken voice That's when cyrus asks the moonlight Do I have to make a choice 'tween liza with her red hair And ramona with her blues And with all these gifts they bring me Tell me how can I refuse Related When I Was A Young Maid performed by Tania Opland and Mike Freeman from the album Choice Fare When I was a young maid, about seventeen I enlisted in the Navy for to serve the Queen. I enlisted in the Navy, a sailor lad to stand, For to hear the cannons rattlin' and the music so grand. The music so grand, the music so grand. For to hear the cannons rattlin' and the music so grand. Well the officer who enlisted me was a fine and handsome man. He said, ""You'll make a sailor, so come along me lad."" Well, me waist being tall and slender and my fingers long and thin, Oh the very soon they learned me I soon exceeded them. I soon exceeded them, I soon exceeded them. Oh the very soon they learned me I soon exceeded them. They sent me to bunk and they sent me to bed For to lie with the sailor lads I never was afraid But in buttoning up me blue coat, it often made me smile For to think I was a sailor and a maiden all the while. A maiden all the while, a maiden all the while. For to think I was a sailor and a maiden all the while. They sent me to London to guard the tower And I swore that I would be there until my dying hour But a lady fell in love with me and I told her I was a maid. She went up to my captain and my secret she betrayed. My secret she betrayed, my secret she betrayed. She went up to my captain and my secret she betrayed. Well the captain, he came up to me and he asked if it were so. I dared not, I dared not, I dared not say no. "It's a pity we should lose you, such a sailor lad you made, It's a pity we should lose you, such a handsome young maid." A handsome young maid, a handsome young maid. It's a pity we should lose you, such a handsome young maid. So fare you well my captain, you've been so kind to me. "And likewise, my sailor lads, I'm sorry to part with thee." But if ever the Navy needs a lad, a sailor I'll remain. I'll put off my cap and feathers and I'll run the riggin' again! I'll run the riggin' again, I'll run the riggin' again.

My one true love"" ""Hear, hear!"" the crew replied And the Dark Lady sighed A rich Spanish galleon was spotted one night The Dark Lady's crew prepared for the fight Clash of swords.... No Spaniards survived it Except for the maiden with dark eyes so bold Found in the hull with the jewels and the gold LaBonne laughed and took her for ranson And every night the Baron would drink a toast He'd say, ""Here's to our lovely lady host! My one true love"" ""Hear, hear!"" the crew replied And the Dark Lady sighed The girl Carlotta was a beauty quite rare With each passing night LaBonne couldn't bear His empty bed... He brought her to it The Baron soon found he felt more than desire His love for her grew and his heart filled with fire He proclaimed that they would marry The night the Baron drank with jubilee He said, ""Here's to my lovely bride-to-be! My one true love"" ""Hear, hear !"" the crew replied And the Dark Lady cried The following night and storm brewed at sea The Dark Lady saw her chance to be free Of her rival, the beauty Carlotta The ship steered her south to the heart of the gale Where a wave swept the maiden out over the rail Sweet revenge on an unfaithful lover That night the Lady drank a toast She said, ""Here's to your lovely lady host! Your one true love""... No voices replied And the Dark Lady smiled And now every night when a storm fills the sky They say that a ghost ship sails in its eye Fleet and swift is the Dark Lady A ship strong and sound with a perilous crew And high on the mast the skull and bones flew While the Captain gazes out to sea And every night the Baron must drink a toast And say, ""Here's to our lovely lady host My one true love"" ""Hear, hear!"" the ghost crew replies And the Dark Lady smiles Exiles Of Erin performed by Compilations from the album Songs from the Village of Carlisle Unknown Website There came to the beach a poor exile of Erin, The dew on his robe was heavy and chilly; For his country he sighed when, at twilight, repairing To wander alone by the wind-beaten kill. But the day-star attracted his eye's sad devotion, For it rose on its own native isle of the ocean. Where once, in the flow of his youthful emotion, he sang the bold anthem of Erin-go-bragh. Oh! sad is my fate, said the heart-broken stranger, The wild deer and wolf to a covert can flee; But I have no refuge from famine or danger, A home and a country remains not for me. Ah! never again in the green shady bower, Where my forefathers lived, shall I spend the sweet hours, Or cover my harp with the wild-woven flowers, And strike the sweet numbers of Erin-go-bragh. Oh! Erin, my country, though sad and forsaken, In dreams I revisit thy sea-beaten shore; But, alas! in a far foreign land I awaken, And sigh for the friends that can meet me no more. And thou, cruel fate, wilt thou never replace me In a mansion of peace, where no perils can chase me? Ah! never again shall my brothers embrace me- They died to defend me, or live to deplore. Where now is my cabin-door, so fast by the wildwood? Sisters and sire did weep for its fall; Where is the mother that looked on my childhood? And where is my bosom friend -dearer than all? Ah! my sad soul, long abandoned by pleasure, Why did it dote on a fast-fading treasure? Tears, like the rain, may fall without measure, But rapture and beauty they cannot recall. But yet all its fond recollections suppressing, One dying wish my fond bosom shall draw; Erin, an exile, bequeaths thee his blessings, Land of my fathers, Erin-go-bragh. Buried and cold, when my heart stills its motion. Green be thy fields, sweetest isle in the ocean, ? And the harp-striking bards sing aloud with devotion, Erin Mavourneen, sweet Erin-go-bragh.

To work his two best horses, barrow, cart or plow Or any kind of good farmwork he knew well that I could do.   He had a lovely daughter, and her name was Isabel, She was the lily of the valley and the primrose of the dell. And when she'd go out walking she'd take me for her guide; Down by the banks of Cairnie we watched those small fish glide.   And when three short months had gone and passed, this lassie lost her bloom. And the red fell from her rosy cheeks, and her eyes began to swoon. And when nine long months had gone and passed, she bore to me a son, And swiftly I was sent for to see what could be done.   I said that I would marry her, but och, that would not dee, Saying, “You're no match for Isabelle, and she's no match for thee.” So I took my own son all in my arms, may he bring to me much joy, And may he mean as much to me as the girl that I adore.   And now she's married to a tinker lad and he comes from Huntly town, Mending pots and pans and paraffin lamps and he scours the country 'round. Maybe she's got have a better match, old Bogie can't tell, Fare ye well, you lads o' Huntly side and Bogie's Bonnie Belle."   So Ben Mi Ch'a Bon Tempo performed by Consort of SomeSorte from the album

life for you   Just seek a girl with charms, like Venus but with arms To keep your bed all warm and happily married will you be It's how I caught your dad, me beauty drove him mad And now you see he's had these many years of marital bliss and harmony.""   Raise your glasses high and toast to love and marriage We'll never understand 'til they slide our coffins from the carriage Whack-fe-lol-da-rah   But then I turned fourteen, me pa said, ""Darlin' Paddy I'll teach you the routine to find the girl to marry You'll have the benefit of all me experience In a relationship of lasting joy and permanence   Just marry an ugly girl, the oyster not the pearl The ugliest in the world, 'cause a bonny lass could leave ya I'm telling you now, me son, it's the reason I married your mum So do as I have done, if an ugly girl, she leaves you You'll find you don't really mind.""   Raise your glasses high and toast to love and marriage We'll never understand 'til they slide our coffins from the carriage Whack-fe-lol-da-rah   So's I've grown up a bit confused, love was such a bother Courted pretty girls, and some that looked like me mother So Mom and dear old Dad, the words to me you've spoken I feel that I've been had, me heart is always broken   When I thought Id found true love, and I'm thanking God above Push it came to shove and I'm back out on me bum again I'm telling you lads it's true, no longer will I woo Me heart is black and blue, I'll leave this game of love to you I'm going off to become a priest!   Raise your glasses high and toast to love and marriage We'll never

IMRO; Kyf Brewer / Brewerds&Music / ASCAP)   Well when I was just a young lad, my life about to start There was ever only one girl had a place inside my heart We walked the glen, we climbed the Ben, the forest was our bed, And many a morn I'd wake to find me kilt across her head   And I been up and I been down and I been here and I been there Never saw a bonny lassie quite as comely or as fair You can talk of pretty maidens and I don't bloody care Cause tartan is the colour of my true love's hair   We walked the bonnie highlands, no matter what the weather And we'd shag each other senseless in the bonnie purple heather ŒTil one day we were frolicking and as my true love laughed, She fell into the workings of an old disused mineshaft   And I been up and I been down and I been here and I been there Never saw a bonny lassie quite as comely or as fair You can talk of pretty maidens and I don't bloody care Cause tartan is the colour of my true love's hair   Well I never have recovered from that sad, sad, sorry day So I left my native land for the shores of Amerikay And many a man has made remark about me ancient dress But I wear it in remembrance of the girl it e'er first kissed   And I been up and I been down and I been here and I been there Never saw a bonny lassie quite as comely or as fair You can talk of pretty maidens and I don't bloody care Cause tartan is the colour of my true love's hair"   Mary Mack performed by Queen Ann's Lace from the album Unlaced www.QALace.com "Mary Mack   There's a little girl and her name is Mary Mack Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track There's a lot of other fellas who would get up on her track But I'm thinking that they'll have to get up early   CHORUS Mary Mack's father's makin' Mary Mack marry me My father's makin' me marry Mary Mack And I'm goin' to marry Mary for my Mary to take care of me Well all be making merry when I marry Mary Mack   There a little lass and she has a lot of brass has a lot of gas and her father thinks I'm gas And I'd be a silly ass for to let the matter pass Her father thinks she suits me fairly CHORUS   Mary and her mother do an awful lot together In fact you hardly ever see the one without the other Lot of people wonder whether if its Mary or her mother Or both of them together that I'm courting CHORUS   Now the weddin's on Wednesday and everything's arranged Soon her name wil change to mine, unless her mind is changed And makin' the arrangements is makin' me deranged marriage is an awful undertaking CHORUS   It's sure to be a grand affair and grander than a fair There's gonna be a coach and pair for every pair that's there We'll dine upon the finest fare, I'm sure to get my share If I don't I'll be very much mistaken CHORUS"   Lover's Wreck performed by Cheeks and Phoenix from the album Any Requests www.cheeksandphoenix.com """Lover's_Wreck   A hundred days at sea, A retch away from misery Rummies and rats and tarry jacks my only family (break) The island of salvation Is still a scream a way As the lungs of the night Blow out the light my heart kneels Down to pray   (strait into chorus) Lord why did you take her She meant so much to me Now I’m a wretched soul on a privateer Drowning out at sea I’m killing and I’m drinking My blue heart to black But I swear oh lord I’ll never sin again If you bring her back   Gypsy was a siren, Dripping with desire Her moonless hair and skin so fair as warm as frozen fire She had the loyalty of a cat, behind those pale green eyes Through her cherry lips, the devil slipped, a thousand lies A clan of rogues and vagabonds, occupied her head That thieving band took her pale white hand and stole her from my bed And like a ghost ship in the night, She drifted out once more To land upon the sand of another lover’s shore   Lord why did you take her She meant so much to me Now I’m a wretched soul on a privateer Drowning out at sea I’m killing and I’m drinking My blue heart to black But I swear oh lord I’ll never sin again If you bring her back   In my sleeping mind she sings a sad and lonely lullaby When I wake there’s just the ache it will haunt me till I die When those winds of vanity no longer blow her west I pray they’ll guide her home (across the foam) and put my heart to rest Press gang filled this Man-o-War To make the black mouthed cannon roar Now all my trade is ball and blade, and blood forever more And the sting of salt and spray, the ocean’s howl and squall A stumbling wreck, I roam the deck, at the devil’s beck and call At the devil’s beck and call   Lord why did you take her She meant so much to me Now I’m a wretched soul on a privateer Drowning out at sea I’m killing and I’m drinking My blue heart to black But I swear oh lord I’ll never sin again If you bring her back I swear oh lord I’ll never sin again If you bring her back"""   I Still Remember performed by Blackmore's Night from the album Fires At Midnight www.blackmoresnight.com "I thought of you the other day How worlds of change led us astray Colors seem to fade to gray In the wake of yesterday You looked into my eyes You had me hypnotized and I can still remember you I had a dream of you and I A thousand stars lit up the sky I touched your hand and you were gone But memories of you live on You looked into my eyes You had me hypnotized and I can still remember you Those moments spent together Promising forever and I can still remember you Do you ever think of me And get lost in the memory When you do, I hope you smile And hold that memory a while You looked into my eyes You had me hypnotized and I can still remember you Those moments spent together Promising forever and I can still remember you Still remember you Still remember you Still remember you Still remember you Still remember you Still remember you Still remember you Still remember you Still remember you Still remember you"   Mist-Covered Mountains performed by Crimson Pirates from the album Your Day In The Barrel

their meadows of sunshine and dew. To the women and men ever constant and true, Ever ready to welcome one home.   Oh ro soon shall I see them; Oh he ro see them oh see them. Oh ro soon shall I see them the Mist covered mountains of home.   There shall I gaze on the mountains again, On the fields and the woods and the burns and the glens, Away 'mong the corries beyond human ken In the haunts of the deer I will roam   Oh ro soon shall I see them; Oh he ro see them oh see them. Oh ro soon shall I see them the Mist covered mountains of home. There shall I visit the place of my birth And they'll give me a welcome the warmest on earth All so loving and kind full of music and mirth, In the sweet sounding language of home.   O chì, chì mi na mòr-bheanna O chì, chì mi na còrr-bheanna O chì, chì mi na coireachan Chì mi na sgoran fo cheò   Oh ro soon shall I see them; Oh he ro see them oh see them. Oh ro soon shall I see them the Mist covered mountains of home.   Married to a Mermaid performed by Dregs from the album Do It Like You're Drunk www.the-dregs.net "Married_to_a_Mermaid   There was a gay young farmer, Who liv'd on Salisbury plain; He lov'd a rich Knight's daughter dear! And she lov'd him again. The Knight he was distressed, That they should sweethearts be. So he had the farmer soon pressed, And sent him off to sea. Singing Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves Britons never, never, never shall be slaves... 'Twas on the deep Atlantic, Midst Equinoctial gales; This young farmer fell overboard Among the sharks and whales; He disappeared so quickly, So headlong down went he, That he went out of sight Like a streak of light To the bottom of the deep blue sea. Singing Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves Britons never, never, never shall be slaves... We lowered a boat to find him, We thought to see his corse, When up to the top he came with a bang, And sang in a voice so hoarse, 'My comrades and my messmates, Oh, do not weep for me, For I'm married to a mermaid, Atthe bottom of the deep blue sea.' Singing Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves Britons never, never, never shall be slaves... He said that as he went down, Great fishes he did see; They seemed to think as he did wink, That he was rather free. But down he went so quickly, Saying, ""Tis all up with me, ' When he met a lovely mermaid Atthe bottom of the deep blue sea. Singing Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves Britons never, never, never shall be slaves... She came at once unto him, And gave him her white hand, Saying, 'I have waited long, my dear, To welcome you to land. Go to your ship and tell them, You'll leave them all for me; For you're married to a mermaid At the bottom of the deep blue sea.' Singing Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves Britons never, never, never shall be slaves... The wind was fair, the sails set, The ship was running free; When we all went to the captain bold, And told what we did see. He went unto the ship's side, And loudly bellowed he, 'Be happy as you can, my man, At the bottom of the deep blue sea.' Singing Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves Britons never, never, never shall be slaves..."

You can send a written comment along with a picture of what you're doing while listening. Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Cassidy Owen emailed a photo: "Hi Marc, Just wanted to say thank you for including Warbelow Range in the last couple of episodes. As a fellow Alaskan it is so wonderful to hear Caitlin Warbelow and the rest of Warbelow Range. I usually end up listening to the podcast while I walk too and from work at the Talkeenta Public Library in Talkeetna, Alaska. On a clear day I get a wonderful view of Denali while I walk. Thanks for the podcast, keep up the good work!" Michael Garries emailed a photo: "Hey Marc! I love listening to your podcast while I study! I'm taking calculus right now (my least favorite subject by far) and your perfect blend of the various Celtic subgenres really helps to keep me focused from distractions. Keep up the good work and thank you for broadcasting the beauty of Irish and Celtic culture every month, we all appreciate it!" Lily F Bentley replied to a Celtic Music Magazine newsletter: "Hello, and thank you for getting in touch! Thanks also for the MP3s, which all successfully downloaded. I’m still working through them, but so far Burning Bridget Cleary is standing out as a favourite. And more generally, I must say that as a UK-based listener, I’m really enjoying discovering Celtic musicians from further afield. It’s just amazing how much is out there that you’ll never hear on the British touring circuit. If I may return the favour with just a couple of recommendations of my own... Gerry O’Reilly has done some beautiful covers of traditional Irish songs, which can be found here. And chances are you’ll know this one already, but Talitha MacKenzie’s live performance of ‘Fear a Bhata’ is magical. Really looking forward to hearing more from the podcast, and thanks for all the time you put into to curating the playlists - it really is appreciated, and I will be spreading the word!"

I will be celebrating “halfway to St. Patrick’s Day” on the 18th, making music with my band Gaelic Muses at Lily Mac’s Irish Pub and Restaurant in Sunnyvale, CA. We will be mixing it up with piratey tunes, to link in to “talk like a pirate day”. We are 3 chicks in corsets playing Celtic music, both rock and traditional. I know we’ll have a blast!

This week special guest Kailee sits in for Gina & Ryan to discuss the 1985 high school rom-com .Just One Of The Guys. Terry Griffith has it all — looks, popularity, the perfect college boyfriend, and an article that’s a “shoe-in” to win her a summer internship at the local newspaper… or so she thinks. When Terry’s journalism teacher passes her article up in favor of a couple of pieces written by boys, Terry is convinced that sexism is to blame. Determined to win the internship at any cost, Terry goes undercover at a rival high school to resubmit her article… as a boy! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bmoviebreakdown/support
