i'm watching world link tv's world music...

and Mary Jane Lamond's video for Charles Street Reel (Mo Ghille Mór Foghain'each) came on, though i missed the intro tag (had to catch it at the end).

it's not often that i fail to even *recognize* a language being sung.

wow.

She's from Cape Breton. I really liked the song. I'll have to keep an eye out for her.

mm..that's Welsh, right? I can usually spot gaelic though I have trouble differentiating between the three types if it's only a few words. Must watch this world TV thing (if we get it here. Still not familiar with the cable stations yet)

i think it's scots gaelic, and this (http://www.maryjanelamond.com/maryjane.html) seems to indicate so.

Ooo ooo ooo! And don't forget Natalie MacMaster!

And I remember Ashley MacIsaak ... he had a new record back in '96 when I started working at the record store, called something like 'Hello, how are you?'. I remember because we had a gazillion copies like the label was trying to push it real hard, but it flopped. Rather miserably. I wonder if it's even still in print? :(
