Subject: RE: BS: Unity
The object of my posts was not to compare different styles of Gaelic music, but rather, Amos mentioned Buffy Ste. Marie, and how she halted her career, to raise her child. I was showing Amos another bright singer who has decided to stay home with her children instead of going out on the tours, for the same reason. When Amos, seemed to like it, I sent him some more. That's all. As so far as 'gimmicks' and it not being 'pure' Gaelic music, well the blues has its roots in African music as well, and no one seems to be knocking it,for not being 'pure African music'. The music I posted is very well done, and performed. With their popularity, though, well, I don't think they should run for president, like other 'popular' people we know. (besides, they're more talented!!)

Note to Amos: I think they are phenomenal!! In the song 'The Voice', (depending on your screen resolution) toward the end of the song, you see tears streaming down the side of her face, putting her whole heart into it!! Anyway...Happy listening!!
