Curry, you say?  I'll be right over.

If RP was a concert, this unending dirge would make a wonderful bathroom break.  You wouldn't miss anything and it goes on enough to defeat any long line.

It is amazing how many people have found her music. From basically a street performer in Toronto to a world artist and a lady who has controlled the entire direction of her career. I love her stuff. Don't play it 24/7 but when I do it sounds best cranked

That segue (Pentangle - Waltz  —> this tune) was oddly fun. {#Notworthy}

She was great in concert. Saw her in the 90's in Phoenix, AZ {#Music}

Indeed, a great album.  Despite the negativity of some, I find the fusion of Eastern and Western culture fascinating and capable of yielding works of great beauty.  Go to Venice to see some of what this cultural interchange wrought over the course of 1000 years.  The USA has some distance to go before it boasts the longevity of "La Repubblica Serenissima", which inspired this song.

This song won me concert tickets back in '97 or '98.  The radio station was giving away tickets to the first caller who could name any other song than Mummer's Dance from Book of Secrets.  It was the first and only tickets I have ever won!  And it was FRONT ROW (until they brought in extra chairs and added 2 more rows in front of front row....)  Loreena is AWESOME to see live.  {#Notworthy}

That was a nice transition from Pentangle to this.  Exotic music always makes me wanna get up and undulate a bit!  :)

That is how I always feel about McKennitt's music.  It's not bad, but it is not great, either, and it certainly is not authentic.
