celticdragonflySo yesterday I stopped at Barnes and Noble for a shopping trip. I wandered into the CDs/DVDs section to look for something for the kids, which they didn't have.
But the music they were playing caught my attention. It sounded like something Sam Gamgee would sing after the 2nd round at the Green Dragon, and was nicely bouncy. I asked what they were playing, turned out to be a Nickel Creek album from 2000. Yeah, I live under a rock. I stuck the barcode under the headphone thingy, and listened to samples. Ok, one of the songs I vaguely remembered hearing on the radio. Bluegrass, apparently, it'd been sounding celtic to me - I guess bluegrass is what happened when the celtic emigrated here some generations back.
Anyway, I bought it, rare though it is for me to buy music. Here's a link to a song sample of what caught my attention. I think I shall learn it and sing it to the kids.

I'd offer recommendation for other music you might like...but it could make this post VERY long. Most of my favorites are Celtic/Appalachian/Folk. So if you like that sort of thing, let me know.
