I do enjoy me some Celtic music. Let me tell you a story. But first, my tummy decided I need to get some lunch.
…a few minutes later…
When I worked an internship in Buffalo, the guy who had occupied my desk previously left a bunch of CDs. One of them looked interesting, so I popped it in not knowing at all what to expect. What I heard was a beautiful concoction of accordian, violin, flute, guitar, tribal percussion, and voice, among other things. I think I fell in love right about then. I immediately copied the CD like the pirate I was back then.
Years later, I found a website where you paid $10 a month for as many songs as you could download (they have since changed their policy). I got curious and searched for Solas, and found a bunch of their albums. I downloaded the one I copied so it would be ligitimate (I had given up my swashbuckling ways by then) and the other three I found. They’ve since come out with two more, and they’re both on my hit list. I just have to wait until next month because I ran out of downloads.
They’re not a new band, and they may not even be around anymore except for the occasional reunion tour (their latest is a reunion album), but they’re awesome. I highly recommend them if you’re into it. To see if you are, go ahead and download the song. Don’t ask me for more songs…you’ll have to find them and buy them yourself.

I'm Jason, and I like to write.
That mp3 must’ve been recorded in 4/4 time, because it’s giving me a 404 error message.
I’m guessing the RIAA has already shut down your file?….

Try it now, y’all. I thought I tested the link, but I guess not.
