Happy Birthday Robert Burns!

January 25th is the birthday of Robert Burns, Scotland's (unofficial) National Bard.

Born in 1759 in Ayrshire, Scotland, Robert Burns became a "literary celebrity" for his numerous poems and songs.
 
So lift your glasses to Robert Burns who gave us these quotes (among many, many others):

"Ah wad some power the giftie gie us
To see ourselves as others see us."

"The best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley."

"My love is like a red, red rose
That 's newly sprung in June"

Don't miss our special on Carl Peterson's great CD "There was a Lad: Songs of Robert Burns"

 

Happy New Year!

It's 2013 and time for a much needed and anticipated change!

The newly re-designed darachweb store is ready for your business!

On October 1, 2012 our credit card processor told us they were ceasing business on Dec 31, 2012. It was the kick in the pants we needed to finally implement a re-design of the darachweb website (which hadn't changed since the mid 1990's). Work had already started on the re-design but was kicked into high-gear on that day in October.

There are still a couple tweaks we want to make, but the site is ready for business!

Try it, you'll like it!

Here is a preview of the new site:

Foxburg Golf Tournament

Spent a lovely weekend in Foxburg, PA for their 4th Scottish Festival.

The weather was perfect, the crowds were great and the events kept everyone busy and entertained: highland games, sheep herding, dog agility, musicians, dancers, a storyteller, Gaelic lessons, carriage rides, vendors, Scottish food, wine, beer, ...

Carl Peterson won this year's Golf Tournament by one stroke. In second place was last year's winner, Bob Murdoch.

A Faerie Place - now Available

Carl Peterson's new CD A Faerie Place is now available!

The CD is made up of traditional songs, Child ballads, poems written by Victorian era poets put to music, and one Norwegian folk song.

There are songs about fairies, elves, silkies, and other unearthly creatures, and three instrumentals by Robert Mouland.

The CD comes with a lyrics book, with information about the songs and ballads.

You can purchase the CD from www.darachweb.com, or www.carl-peterson.com. You can download the CD or individual tracks from CD Baby or iTunes.

Office Closed for Short Break!

We're soon off to North Carolina for the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games.

Our office will be closed July 10 to July 16.

Orders can be placed during this time, and we will be checking emails. Orders placed during this time will be shipped as soon as possible after July 16.

If you're at the games come see us near the Main Entrance at the darachweb/Carl Peterson tent! And pick up your copy of A Faery Place, the new CD by Carl Peterson.
