The picture (not the beard story) makes me think of a song. Respect.

When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair

When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

Who will go down to the shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year

The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
And now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

And so they linked their hands and danced
'Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone

A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of our Lord's hand

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
And now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
And now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

Lorenna Mckennıtt has a great voice. My favorite from Lorenna.

Bonny Portmore.

@ Rockstar: The beautiful music and lyrics do sum up my lady Moira very perfectly - she has some celtic ancestry and very much a country girl, influenced in her tastes by our ancient history. Thanks, mate - very much appreciated - she liked it indeed

@ Commander Wallace: Ah, the sound of Northumbrian bagpipes - always gets both of us. And we'll be getting this album too, guys! Thank you

Edit: CD album now on order from Ebay

I understand completely about the bagpipes since I'm very much of Scots lineage. The Northumbrian bagpipes also resonate with me as well. I'm also German. A lot of my musical tastes, particularly in Classical music, gravitate toward that of German Composers. These include Mozart from the greater areas of Germany, in old Austria and also the Music of Scotland and Ireland.

I also absolutely loved the music of Celtic Woman having seen a number of their live shows and performances from 2005 through 2012. Celtic Woman had fantastic Musicians. Celtic Woman is still performing but with vast lineup changes. They no longer have even close to the Chemistry and Harmonies they once had.

Enjoy the Album and if you and Moira haven't already, check out Celtic Woman, again from 2005 through about 2012. You won't be disappointed. :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

My head is now smaller and slightly lighter.

I grew the beard out just after Halloween and, today, it hit 80F for the first time, so out came the clippers followed by a shave. :D

I can still do this :hmmm: but now its less dramatic.

Plowing my way through the day

....spent yesterday doing my wife's bidding and putting in the spring garden-boxes' crops using my trusty rototiller https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/pic...ictureid=13470 to mix in the 300 LBS of potting soil; after which, I drove the her Suburu Forester and my '05 Corolla to the Oilman for their oil changes!:yeah:

@ Jim - that made the missus laff

@ Aktung - I put that all behind me a long time ago, mate

It'll be 10 years as a member of Subsim in August for me and I'm wondering how to celebrate that :hmmm: ?

Throw a huge party and invite all your subsim mates :)
