Tune for the Taking. Monday, September 21, 2009. One short year has passed. Thanks for being by my side - it's not quite the same but it helps. Here's to you Mom. Saturday, September 19, 2009. Before Emmylou there was Mary. Friday, September 11, 2009. New York City 9/11/01. New York City, Cambridge Folk Festival, August 2, 2009. In America singers singing, our world could be as one. In America brothers killing some poor mothers' son. But I thank God for New York City. But I thank God for New York City.

Tune for the Taking. Tuesday, November 25, 2008. This Thanksgiving Day I give tribute to Squanto of the Pawtuxet nation, his friend Samoset and all the First Americans (especially Chief Massasoit of the Wampanoag nation) who shared their harvest feast celebration with the poorly equipped and starving Pilgrims in 1621. I'll be singing all these songs while cooking. Walela "Cherokee Morning Song" sung in rote below:. We n' de ya ho, We n' de ya ho (I am of the Great Spirit). He ya ho, He ya ho, Ya ya ya.

Tune for the Taking. Sunday, February 14, 2010. More often than not, I find myself singing Wild Mountainside. Written by John Douglas (no doubt channelling Rabbie Burns) of the Trashcan Sinatras, and most famously performed by the Queen Eddi Reader at the opening of the new Scottish Parliament building.

Tune for the Taking. Monday, May 18, 2009. Muir's backside and Sacagawea. Derek MacLennan and his really awesome funk/fusion version of Bob Dylans 'All along the Watchtower' (Gaelic translation by Rody Gormans) Winner of Best Technical Direction at FilmG awards 2008 - Directed by Caty MacLennan. MacLennan's video has absolutely no relevance to the topic at hand, I just like it. It's been ages since my last entry. Work and family duties have kept me dog tired. I do not know when or if it will show up in t...

Tune for the Taking. Monday, September 22, 2008. Before a battle, Crazy Horse, leader of the Lakota Sioux, is quoted as saying.Today is a good day to fight. Today is a good day to die. Today is a very good day to die. Every living thing is in harmony with me. Every voice sings a chorus within me. All beauty has come to rest in my eyes. All bad thoughts have departed from me. Today is a very good day to die. My land is peaceful around me. My fields have been turned for the last time. An act of remembrance.

Tune for the Taking. Saturday, April 25, 2009. My niece Erin - the lovely and brilliant songbird. I am the auntie of 6 interesting young women of whom I am so proud. Each different than the other - all special. My second (I'm the last) sister's daughter Erin is a talented singer and my very dear friend. Erin is exceptional, and I do not use the word lightly. Anyway, she has been working, and I mean working, on this project for a long time. Thankfully, her abilities reach beyond voice and songwriting,...
