Blessed Lughnasadh

[ambitious_wench]

Today is the first day of rehearsals for King Richard's Fair and I am hyped!

Wasn't sure if I would be performong this year or not--it's a big commitment, and I wasn't sure I wanted every weekend eaten up with rehearsals and performances until October.

But I had such fun last year, and I wanted to do it again this year--it gives me purpose.

Not sure who I will play next year. Andrew says that I could play "royal", but I really enjoy playing "Aditi Risa, Gypsy Scum".

But then, that does show a certain cultural insensitivity to the Romany--and I am not sure I want to piss them off. I may play "Aditi Risa, Queen of the Romany".

For the Pagans among us, I wish you a blessed Lughnasadh. In Celtic mythology, this is the day that Lugh commemorated his foster mother's death from exhaustion after being forced to clear a forest and plant a field. Learn more here: "Lughnasadh": Kathleen Dupree.

From Journey Through The Wheel:

Thanks again to SCAScot for ripping to MP3.

FYI, that really is yerz trooly singing.

So I'm off to get some breakfast, and some lunch supplies. Wish me a broken leg!

For anyone who's interested, I recorded this from the original tape that Edie sent me, and made a CD, and then made the MP3's from that CD.

If you would like a copy of the CD (and save yourself the download), it can be had by emailing me at scascot@appleisp.net. I'm making these at cost, plus actual shipping via USPS. (Translation, under $1.00).

You have a gorgeous voice, you know.

*swoon*

Now we'll have to get you over here some time - I've -got- to hear you sing in person!

I'd be delighted to. And some day, I will find a way to record an MP3 of "Today", just for you, Shakira.

Credit where credit's due, thou silver-voiced beauty - there's no need for the blush.

And thank you - that's an incredibly sweet offer.  Though I'll confess that I'd much rather contrive to be in place for a live performance some day.  The more I hear about the Faires the better an idea this sounds, anyway.

(grin) Hooray for Faires!

Am living a once-in-a-lifetime last-before-Wards dream and heading down to Maryland Ren Faire, doublet and all, on Labor Day. Looking forward to it muchly. :-)

Will have to download MP3 when I get back to work. :-)
