More Faery Songs


On Saturday we worked on "The Fairy Ring", an impish children's song, and "What Must a Fairy's Dream Be", a great song by Stephen Foster that we've never heard, or heard of, before.

I listened to what Carl had done over the week with "The Fairies". Wow! Just wait till you hear it!

We finished the day with "King of the Fairies", a traditional instrumental.

In the picture Carl plays the bodhran. You can't really see, but many years ago Carl's daughter adorned the head of this bodhran with some of her artwork. It doesn't seem to have effected the sound!

St George and The Wedding

Two British events happening later this month.

The lesser known event is St George's Day which occurs every April 23rd, which is the traditionally accepted date of Saint George's death in 303 AD.
At one time it was a traditional custom to wear a red rose in one's lapel on St George's Day. Another custom is to fly or adorn the St George's Cross flag in some way. We have a full selection of St George Cross flags and gift items.

The more well known British event is "The Wedding" on April 29. All I'm going to say about that is that we still have lots of Union Jack flags and gift items, so check it out if need something to adorn your wedding event.
