A lovely song by the late Bill Staines.

Written by Robert Tannahil and Alexander Campbell some time between the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Recorded on December 20, 2024 by Craig Allen. This song has been covered by many groups and singers including Dougie MacLean and the Selkie Girls featuring Alli Johnson.

This is the last song singer/songwriter Jed Marum wrote before he passed away. He never recorded it, his friend and mine, Alli Kraft Johnson, of the band The Selkie Girls recorded this on their album Running With the Morrigan, which is where I first heard it. I asked Alli about it, telling her what a lovely song it is and if she could help me with the lyrics and chords. She gave me the history,...

I learned this song from listening to Irish singer Cathie Ryan perform this. It's a lovely song based on the traditional Irish blessing.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

A poem by Alter Brody. I was introduced to this poet, known as the lost poet of Brooklyn, by my friend Kim Brody Salazar, who also happens to be the grand niece of Alter Brody. She told me this was her favorite of his poems, and I recorded it as a gift and by way of thanking her for putting me onto this wonderful poet.
