Greetings to All,
It has been far too long since last I visited the Forums; I hope the time has been good to you all. I live in NE Oklahoma and am the creator and owner of the band, Native Souls, that performs at Renaissance Festivals and events around the Mid-West. Our 2017 season has just concluded with our performance at the 12th Bi-Annual Heavener, Ok Viking Runestone Festival.
I look forward to perusing through the boards and reacquainting myself with the forums.
Slan!

Sekhmet, have you been peeking into *my* genealogy library and my home office on my family genealogy? 
Yes it is a very expensive, time consuming, obsession creating, frustrating hobby ... but I wouldn't trade it for anything! What started out as tracing down where my heart conditions sprouted from has turned into my own personal time machine peeking back in the past to make connections to people and places I'll never know with the end result being a sense of belonging and kinship. |

Greetings!
I have to say I'm one of the lucky ones, my band Native Souls, is a wonderful mesh of experienced musicians and singers. My best friend and I began as a singing duo dubbed "The Shanty Lasses" and she is truly a bard out of time! She hears music all the time and has the uncanny ability to create, finish, and/or polish lyrics on her own or in collaboration with myself. When we added our third (and first male) member to the group, we changed names and have never looked back. Our third, Mr. Doug Russell, is a talented folk singer/writer in his own stead and has been gracious enough to collaborate with the both of us. When we were joined by a husband and wife duo, the music and magic literally exploded! We've a range of songs from 100% kids songs such as Mr. Russell's "I Want to Be" to our latest group number of "In the Vardo" (which is still in the works). Now the challenge is to find better and more diverse venues for my group than has been afforded us via the Renaissance Festival circuit here in the lower Mid-West (Ok, Ks, Mo, Ark) and to juggle gig dates around everyone's work schedules (only 1 member is retired!).
I have found that music and lyrics flow best when not constrained by deadlines, specific structures/strictures of lyrics, and a general "stressed-out" environment. We all carry pen and paper with us so if the inspiration strikes us, we can capture it. Now to ensure we have digital recorders to capture the music that hits us like that as well!
I look forward to a further and fuller discussion on this topic!
Until then, best regards

I joined 07-Jul-2004 and through many life changes (and thus changes in internet providers), I forgot I'd signed up to join this group. But all things happen for a reason and thankfully, some late night wanderings led me back here from the CR Facebook page! Glad to be back, now to spend some time reading on what I've missed out on!

Greetings!
I had forgotten I had signed up well over a decade ago for Celtic Radio until browsing through the FB page for CR.
Long have I loved Celtic Music and am thrilled to find my way back to this group. I look forward to chatting with ya and learning about not only the new music/artists out there but the cherished performers/songs/music.
