The first time I was exposed to Loreena McKennitt was in an upscale mall at a "discovery" type store. They had lots of CDs along the wall and her one where she is standing on the cover...The Mask & The Mirror just called to me. Seriously, I was so drawn to it and at the time I had no idea who she was. I was compelled to buy the CD......and of course I was hooked from then on.......

Nice segue from TMBG to Loreena McKennitt's Istanbul, Bill.

I like the Celtic songs more than the Arabic ones...

I would expect to like the Celtic ones better, but I really like the Arabic ones more.

I've seen her twice or 3 times now, and it's an AMAZING show every time.

Idioacracy was a fantastically funny (and mind numbingly horrifying) movie. What makes it all worse is the fact that I know people like that!

Except for that unfortunateness with the Armenians (and Greeks).

Should one of us call social services?

Watch the bass and sub-woofer on the children. The odd friend of mine can play music loud enough to compensate for damaged hearing. Beyond "filling the room". Asking them to turn it down is like asking a tobacco addict to smell fine food or pick up a wild animal in the bush. Cognitive impairment.


I am one of those rare tobacco addicts who can smell fine food and a fart at 20 paces. Not going there with picking up wild animals but I can say one of the reason I still smoke is that if I didn't I most probably could not stand to be near any un-showered peeps, anytime, anywhere.
That said, great tune !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hypnotic. Trying to work and all I can do is try to keep from swaying back and forth.
