Well, Blackcatter, I had to open them and I am glad I did. I haven't listened to the Mrs Miller CD all the way through yet so I can't really tell what I think about her singing style, although what I have heard is definitely "different". The blue pottery cup is beautiful. I love the colour, and the little owl is beautiful too, and so are the shells and the stone. I love the notes you wrote about everything.

But, the Ceoltóirí CD, Women of Ireland .... what can I say? I thought I would never hear a music group to rival Sileas or the Poozies, but this is pure musical brilliance - not just technically brilliant, but scintillating, pure voices, pure instrumental parts, beautiful choices of songs and tunes. Wonderful!

Thank you so much. I know, after only one listen, that this is going to be one of my favourite CD's.
