It's all for fun and it's all for free ! ************************************************* Connie interprets An Spailpin Fanach in an impromptu solo performance for us ! You might recognize that this was the original tune from whence came The Girl I Left Behind Me. Despite its lively sound, the story is a sad one, as you will see when reading the lyrics on my blog at www.Irishroots.com. We listen to Connie rehearse few times as she recalls the language and the melody. Sort of like being in the back room before a performance. A brave and generous soul indeed she is ! I do take full responsibility for forcing her into this situation unprepared - and am amazed at her ability to perform under such an ambush. We also hear about how her life and career developed from childhood dreams, and life as a ranch cook in Wyoming. Connie had the folks here lined up almost out the door to try some her Moose and rattlesnake fritters platters last week.... ****************************** How to Contact Me Reach me anytime at Irishroots.com, or drop by the Irish Roots Cafe 24 hours a day.

( Yet always a tremendous singer, historian and poet.) I first heard Connie when she was singing with Scartaglen back in the 1980's. She often sings solo, and has studied Celtic music on both sides of the ocean. Born in Arkansas, she has 4 albums released and has made numerous guest appearances on other labels. Todays Song Connie chats a bit about her experience with Irish and Celtic music. She writes about 1/3 of her own music, and was awarded the title of grand master at the 2nd annual Song Festival here. I put her on the spot, with no advance notice. With a rare confidence she accepts the challenge to sing a tune in the Irish language that she has not sung in years. This is a rare talent indeed. She sings a bit of Siuila Run (Walk My Love) for us today. Listen to todays broadcast to hear it all.
