Hi, Don:
I'm from Philly now. My family and I have been here since 1996. Grew up in Vermont, went to Catholic University in DC, lived and worked in Connecticut, studied in St. Louis, MO for two years. |

I hope my dialogue with haynes9 isn't boring everyone else. I am really excited about the connections I discern between Celtic and some Native American (or "First Nations") music. I am familiar with R. Carlos Nakai and Mary Youngblood because they both appeared on a peace album with two wonderful singers, Joanne Shenandoah and Lawrence Laughing. And I'm sure that Loreena McKennitt, who has recorded her musical impressions of many cultures, would say that there is indeed a spiritual connection between herself and those artists, just as Orla Fallon would likely acknowledge a profound connection between her music and the American bluegrass music of Nashville. (Orla has recorded two songs made famous by Alison Krauss, "Simple Love" and "Down to the River to Pray." |

Thank you all for your welcome to me. Haynes9, are you Navajo yourself? I am part Huron (a Canadian nation, ethnically related to the Iroquois and known in the US as the Wendat or Wyandot) on my father's side. The Canadian Huron today live primarily in Quebec and the American Wendats in Kansas and Oklahoma. I grew up in Vermont, where my Dad's family moved from Canada in the late 19th century.
I detect some similarities between Celtic and Native American spirituality. Are you familiar with Loreena McKennitt's song, the Huron Beltane Fire Dance?
More later.

I am a semi-retired pastor as well as a husband, father and grandfather. I love Celtic music and its offshoot, American bluegrass. I love singers/harpists Aine Minogue and Orla Fallon and wish they would collaborate. Their differing spiritual perceptions and musical approaches would complement each other beautifully.
Have a great day, all |
