Greetings

Here are five ways to celebrate Celtic culture through music.

Listen to the Tribute to Jed Marum--
Jed Marum is a Celtic folk singer who passed away at the beginning of May. This week, we're celebrating his life and music. omen. But I found some great Celtic music from Jed Marum, Fiddlinda, Carolina Ceili, Mason Brown, Hugh Morrison, Nine-8ths Irish, Jil Chambless, Ed Miller, Scooter Muse, Tullamore. Give it a listen.

Want to hear more of Jed Marum's music? Listen here...
Jed's music has been a big part of this podcast. He first showed up in show #13. But he quickly became an essential part of the show. He even allowed me to share some of his CDs, in their entirety, on the podcast. #42 featured Lonestar Stout and #91 featured Soul of a Wanderer.

Who Sings It Better?
I launched a new GAME with video this week on my YouTube channel. I share two videos of the same song. You vote for which you like better.

The first video is my recording of "Molly Malone". I pitted it against the same song by Jesse Ferguson.

Go watch both videos. Post a comment on my video saying if you prefer my version, Jesse Ferguson's or another one. My hope is to announce a winner next week. Though if I get a lot of interaction, perhaps I'll put the winner against a third version if your choosing.

New Celtic CDs from...
You'll find new albums from Celtic Kitchen Party, Fear of Drinking, and Trevor Ryder. Find links here.

Did you listen to last week's show?

What are you doing today while listening?
The easiest way to let me know is to email me right now. Send a comment or a picture of what your doing. You can also send a photo from one of your trips to a Celtic nation.

Slainte!
