Proverbs of the Moment
Gaelic Proverbs come primarily from the western Highlands and Islands of Scotland, and they have a distinctly rural or agricultural flavor which reflects
the society from which they were gathered. It is to be expected that many of them pertain to the weather, to the planting of crops, and to country life
in general. Others reflect the Gaelic love of company and hospitality, fear of poverty and laziness.
Gaelic Proverb: Cha dean duine dona ach a dhìchoill.
English Translation: A poor fellow can do but his best.
Few countries have a greater number of proverbs than has Scotland. Even today, everyday speech in Scotland is
sprinkled with them. Scots are wonderfully given to this way of speaking, and the lovely Scots tongue loses much
of its flavor when forced to translate their unqiue language. Those that appear in English have been preserved
that way for at least 200 years!
Scottish Proverb: He that hae nae siller (silver) in his purse, should hae silk on his tongue.
Link of the Moment
Irish button accordion wizard David Munnelly & his award-winning group perform Irish traditional music excitingly fused with the rollicking ragtime sounds of the "Golden Age" of Irish American music of the 1920's & '30's, for the most part played fast, with an immense precision, and a live excitement not often duplicated.
Music critic Lucky Clark has called Munnelly "The Eddie Van Halen of the button box," and Bill Margeson of Irish Music Magazine has called the band "The hottest traditional group in Ireland."
Awards: 2004, 2005 Composer of the Year (Ireland) / 2005 Best Traditional Artist (LiveIreland.com) / 2005 Best Band (Irish American News) / 2006 Best Male Vocalist - Andrew Murray (LiveIreland.com)
Watch for the David Munnelly Band on a PBS Special. Listen to them in a two part concert on Celtic Connections on over 100 NPR stations

The Celtic Zodiac
The Alder, 3/18 - 4/14The Alder was believed by the Druids to link both male and female principles, thus helping to create a balance between the two within each individual. It is also associated with courage and represents the evolving spirit. Considered to be a tree of death and resurrection, it may have been used (along with the Poplar) in the fe rod which was kept in pre-Christian cemeteries for the measuring of graves and corpses. The fe rod was handled only by an appointed official and was believed to have been carved with an Ogham inscription. Resistant to the rotting element of water, wood from the Alder was often used in the making of bridges, boats, clogs and milk jugs. It was also frequently used in the making of magical whistles, flutes and pipes. It was once a crime to fell an Alder since the angry tree spirit was believed to take revenge by burning down houses. If felled, however, the tree literally "bleeds" by turning from white to red. Red dyes were once made from the bark, brown dyes from the twigs and green dyes from the flowers of this tree. The Alder is a Faery tree sacred to Bran and, therefore, oracular in nature and often used for divination. Medicinally, it would be used to rid people of fleas and boils. In Irish legend, the first human male was created from Alder (the first female being created from Rowan).
The Common Alder is a somber, deciduous tree with a dark bark. It is water-loving and most comfortable along lowland rivers and streams, often in the company of Aspens, Poplars and Willows. Like the Willow, the Alder sprouts from a stump, which allows this tree to r........ more Read more about your Celtic Zodiac sign!
