I love Balkan music. It brings me to tears.

My stepmother was from Czechoslovakia...and dressed like a Roma...large earrings, fluffy dresses... ... my adoptive father and her use to go coconuts about polka music...I would always just roll my eyes... I actually pointed her out to my dad before they ever met...he didn't seem to pay much attention but I think it was because he didn't want to flop his tongue out and bug out his eyes around me. They were married for 50 years and they met in their 40's...and they fought with each other for every last day of it.

This is beautiful Celtic style music from one of my favorite movies, the original Wicker Man.

Clannad is great. It doesn't get any more Irish than that

Really lovely. So sorrowful. The Irish do sorrow very well....for good reason.

Here is some REALLY bad music with Celtic roots from Eastern Canada. We had one tv channel when I was a kid and this is some of the lousy programming we tried to ignore.

Pretty bad, alright. It's about running out of beer. Very heartfelt!

[Emil El Zapato]

Wicker Man, huh... that song does have a very haunting quality to it...

[Octopus Garden]

Wind,

I love the medieval music. Super creative! Am going to forward these!

[Emil El Zapato]

lol, I have a story about that, too...I've laid out enough run-on sentences at this point... ok, the short version. A guy I worked with had what was essentially a family band...his number one son at the time was in college pursuing music as a degree. I bought one of their CD's for $10...I did it out of courtesy more than interest. omigod, the sound didn't even resemble music...I was floored that someone would actually try to 'sell' them. He was a great guy, though...I never said anything...

Hec' those guys are fantastic... ... oh wait, that was the Irish dudes...

So are the Czechs

I think you can get the original version on Netflix. It is an incredible film 89% on Rotten Tomatoes.

[Emil El Zapato]

yeah, I've seen at least one version of it...likely 2 or 3. I'll check it out...

This is the one...

I love Clannad NAP, the first time I heard them on the radio...I stopped everything I was doing and just listened.

This is something I heard about when living in Sydney Australia...there is a place called: "The pub with no beer" and here is a song about it!

Clannad is sublime...
