Happy St Patrick's Day!

As we celebrate the Patron Saint of Ireland, we give to you this old Celtic blessing:

May the blessing of light be on you—
light without and light within.
May the blessed sunlight shine on you
and warm your heart
till it glows like a great peat fire.

Sláinte!

More Faerie Songs

Faery, Faerie, Fairy?

This past Saturday we did more recording on three songs:

• The Elfin Knight

And started two new songs. It was a very productive day!

• Tam Lin (Child #39)
• Queen of Elfin's Nurse (Child #40, tune: Dainty Davie and C. Peterson)
