catchingcatchingcatching up on workworkwork and all the many joys of being back home with family and household again, will probably get to posting some pictures of the post-camp trip before getting on to writing up some bits of camp lore, but in the meantime...

For those interested in Gaelic-language traditional music, these folks, out of Skye, have a lovely catalog of artists and albums. I picked up several of their albums while there, and they are all absolutely brilliant. ravenedgewalker and I also got to see the legendary Scottish fiddler, Alasdair Fraser, and his cellist-prodigy touring companion, Natalie Haas, while we were on Skye, and it was purely amazing (despite the failure of the sound system, and Alasdair's fiddle losing a string in rather dramatic fashion, and himself having to ask to borrow a fiddle from someone in the audience -- which, this being Skye, was immediately offered ;>)

Gotta love a woad warrior... ;>

Ever heard The Pict Song? (http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/493.html) Of course, the historical Picts were not necessarily "Little Folk," rather warriors of famed prowess, but it's still a good song ;>
