Hi Mary:

I love two of the songs you mentioned that you sing, "Willy O' Winsbury" and "Fear A Bhata"

Do you have a link or CD where I could hear you sing those two songs in particular?

Have you ever listened to the late American folk singer, Kate Wolf?
There are a lot of her songs to hear on Youtube. She was from California and wrote many, many great songs. Two beautiful songs that she was very well known for are, "Across the Great Divide" and "Give Yourself to Love" both covered by many singers.
I don't know if you are interested in covering folk songs by American singer/songwriters but have a listen to Kate Wolf songs as they are very good and well written songs.
