As a teenager I became aware of music "speaking" to and for you The songs of the Smiths made me aware that I was not the only one feeling this way thinking this way and I became aware of the power of music Raye regularly says music is medicine and she has a point why am I rambling about music

this week;s folk& acoustic favoutite is haunted by Shane and Sinead I think Sinead is the greatest singer from this island and the contrast with Shane's singing works so well Shane is of course one of the great songwriters a part of Ireland's poetic lyrical tradition www.bing.com/videos/river...

Here on E Street, we are heartbroken over the death of Glen Hansard. We met in Ireland many years ago and he was always nothing but a great musician, a good friend and a generous and gracious man. Always positive, smiling and ready to sing. God bless him and his loved ones. Bruce

On this day in 1990, Jim Henson died at the age of 53. He gave life to felt and foam, but more importantly, he gave generations of kids and adults alike the belief that kindness, creativity, and curiosity could change the world.
