TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS. Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos. We're going to Scotland in 2021. Join the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

Anna Paulson wrote on Twitter: "This is a poem I wrote while I listened to your live show on Facebook. Thanks for the inspiration."

I asked her if I could share it.

Oh dear harp, Will you sing for me? Please sing me a song to set my heart free.

Every time a bard plucks your strings, Everyone gets up, dances, and sings. Please, please do that for me.

My hands are clumsy, My voice is shrill, But your song still gives me a thrill.

I am no bard, Music for me is hard. Yet I'm the only one here to play you.

So please dear harp, Sing for me, A song to set any soul free.
