Chasing Abbey

Okay, let's take a breath and survey the ground we've covered today.

Because we've gone from the pulsing electronic bass lines of Chasing Abbey and ended up standing over the excavation of a massive Viking longhouse.

It's a journey.

We tracked Andy Irvine's 60-year dedication to the Dust Bowl ballads of Woody Guthrie, and we watched half a million lost family trees get resurrected in the virtual treasury.

And we are jaunty, though fully informed of danger.

And one of the things we got, you know, when I was listening to Chasing Abby, fabulous Irish band, but it's good for all of us to carry in our pocket, defiant joy honed by adversity, and that the excluded carry the medicine mojo.

Marshawn was going to be guest, but he had other engagements, but he will be guest.

Possibly, we'll see.

So, we will now move on to two pieces of music with some adverts interspersed.

Erranta from Chasing Abbey, which is irony, and Traith the Bermow, Bermow Beach from Avank.

They stay beneath the shadows

Your way of life arose They send you to the gallows All that remains is your soul And it's hard to shake It's a deep-rooted thing We only express And when we dance or we sing It's like a cursed generational thing Togon Changa, Togon Talav, S'grace Uncounter, S'grace Nadeni, Kalinga, Kustur, Zalagdi, Tustin, Dozu, Obluza, Kushtiva, Lahore.
