My most memorable Christmas was 26 years ago. I was 9 months pregnant, due January 21st, and had the flu. I had crack three ribs three weeks previous and was not in good shape at all. My husband had taken the boys over to his mother's for Christmas dinner while I crawled under the covers and slept. Around 10:00 he brought the boys home and brought me some of my mother-in-law's delicious Italian chicken soup. Shortly after finishing the soup contractions started, and an hour later were getting worse. We called my mother-in-law to come over to be with the boys, who were sleeping and we arrived at the hospital around midnight. Forty-five minutes after Christmas my Heather was born. My best Christmas present ever!
I still think she's my best present 26 years later!

Greetings, everyone!
A friend on Great Big Sea's website pointed me here to check it out. Cool! They are my favorite band but I also enjoy Cape Breton fiddling. In fact, I took lessons in Cape Breton at the Gaelic COllege for two summers. There's nothing like a Cape Breton fiddle to get my heart and feet going.
Although I've always enjoyed pipe bands, I never 'got into' any of this till I discovered GBS. They have in turn, introduced me to many celtic-influenced bands like the Barra MacNeils, Banshee, Natalie MacMaster (whose fiddle I got to play one time!), Jim Fidler and many wonderful musicians from Canada's East Coast. Although I do enjoy Gaelic Storm, Hadrian's Wall, the Glengarry Bhoys and Greenwich Meantime, my heart is in Eastern Canadian music.
I'm just an old lady enjoying the music that speaks to my soul, here near Philadelphia.
