I picked up my first Gaelic Storm CD from the library on the way home from work! I heard about Gaelic Storm from Stacy. She talks about them occasionally- like here, here, here and here (this was before I was a Stacy's Random Thoughts and Opinions reader I think!)
Since I'm a person "who enjoys" Stacy (by the way, I like the fact that the tagline of Stacy's blog is "A journal of random observations, reviews, and opinions I want to catalog for me and people who enjoy me." Because Planet Dan's tagline is "A site for people who love dan". Must we love you Dan? Can't we be friends first?) I thought I might enjoy Gaelic Storm. And I DO! In fact by the 13th track (Cab Ride to Kingston) I was improvising an Irish jig for Isaac's amusement. Well, he looked more annoyed than amused, but I was amused. Until I realized I was jumping up and down in clogs on the foot I broke last summer, and then it kind of hurt. But this is some really fun music. I also realized that I could have heard samples at gaelicstorm.com which is printed in huge letters on their CD. Guess I forgot how to do a google search there.
Anyway, thanks for recommending this band Stacy - they are coming to Long Island while I'm in China, but I see that they are playing in Annapolis next month too, I will have to tip off my sisters.

No, you have to love me. It's all or nothing with me. Honestly, I wrote that tagline like three years ago when the only people who read my blog were my sister and myself. And we both loved dan, so it was a true statement at the time.
I've yet to hear a Gaelic Storm CD even after hearing for years about how good they are from Stacy. I should really give them a chance one of these days.
Can I tell you how excited I am that someone besides me now enjoys Gaelic storm...I need to tell you they are infectious...really they are the most listenable group I have ever encountered.By the way I love posts that refer to me.Love it,love it,love it.
Now you need to check out tree.It is a little more mellow...Swimming in the sea is my favorite.
Listen to the lyrics on some of the songs on how are we getting home...they are musical genius's with the added bonus of being witty as well.The lead singer is really cute too.Now to be fair I need to see a bollywood film.
Hummmm, I think I need to see what the hype is all about!
I was laughing at the thought of you improvising an Irish jig and Isaak just kind of looking at you in bewilderment.
Stork?
Do I have the dumbest sense of humor of any blogger you know?
Are you trying to say that the Gaelic Storm got me pregnant?
Ha ha, I love your sense of humor Stacy.
I am just going to randomly insert stork every couple of posts actually:)Just for fun
