The Gathering Place, A place to blether

[CelticRoz]

Thought I would stop in here and say hello. Been an awful long time since I have done so. Something always seems to come up. Over four years ago I got involved in fashion photography and life became really crazy which led me to burn out and health problems in January of this year. Left the fashion world behind and made decision I would only photograph things that could not talk. So I went into nature photography. Well, I have asthma and got hit really hard with that nine weeks ago and been sick with it ever since!! I am getting better and manage to sneak outside a wee bit to take photos of back yard critters. It is so hot here and I know that is not helping my lungs either. Besides, who wants to do anything when it is so hot. If I felt good enough I would make a trip up north but stuck here in the house to get well. Like most things in life, this too shall pass and things sure could be far worse.

I hope this find everyone else doing well.

Hello everyone!

Been a while since I checked in. I'm doing good. My niece Megan just celebrated her 16th birthday . It seems like just last week I was taking her over to the playground at the school by my parents' old house. Also my 14 year old nephew Jay is now almost as tall as I am and has the same shoe size as me .

Hi, Mike.....Funny how time flies by and kids just shoot up. My son just turned 29 a week or so ago. Can't believe he'll be thirty next year. He's a big strapping man at about 6'2" and 300 lbs. Most times I just feel amazed that he came out of me. He was taller than me by about age 10. My daughter will be 24 in a couple of months. I think she may finally have found her calling.....she is studying massage therapy. Have a wonderful sunny day filled with great Irish music!!

Ok I will start!


How's life treating you all?
There have been ups and downs, but mostly downs for several years. MS got my wife, but we are dealing with it and learning. That started changing when Haynes on here started praying for me and miraculously, Life is improving. We have a beautiful Grand daughter and kids that visit us often. Life is good once again.

Who is your favorite Celtic artist?
Charlie Zahm always gets me with his songs even after all of these years. I have not seen him in 10 years would love to go see him if he comes up New England way.

What are your hobbies and interests?
Have too many hobbies and not enough time. Recently got a new keyboard for Christmas and been pulling out the old sheet music. Setup an eight bit retro computer room and have been playing the games of my youth. (Commodore). Also interested in Crypto - but the bottom fell out!

What is your favorite Celtic group, style of Celtic music, and favorite instrument? Harp, guitar, fiddle, drums?
Albannach is definitely my favorite, mainly because I love their concerts. I can yell, whoop, dance and listen to some of the finest Scottish/Celtic music out there. They are also great people. Pipes & Drums are my favorite - recently saw Andre Reui perform Highland Cathedral in Boston - incredible.

All and All I am still glad to me around!
