Since the beginning of this blog on August 1, 2010, Saturdays has been a day to celebrate BryonySeries author and Irish vampire character Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara, and all things Irish.
While this piper in this selection is neither Irish or features a tin whistle, it has a "Glorna" feel to it (to me), which you might understand if you're read "Staked!" or any of Ed's books in his BryonySeries Ruthless series ("Ruthless," "The Fifth," "Recovering Ruthless").
Either way, enjoy!

This is the summary of the song on its YouTube page.
“There’s a very powerful female story within this
beautiful yet heartbreaking song; the story of a mother left alone to fight for
her and her young children’s survival during the Great Famine of Ireland. A
fate that, sadly, is still a reality for many women around the world today.”
So in the spirit of a BryonySeries Saturday, please enjoy this sweet, very poignant song.

So in the spirit of a BryonySeries Saturday, please enjoy the following in the background of your day.
"May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be
always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft
upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His
hand." (traditional Irish blessing)

Good morning!
I've been battling a stomach virus since Monday night, but I'm very slowly (too slowly for my perspective) improviing.
This past week is probably the longest I've gone without posting anything since we lost our home in 2013.
I'm hoping that this lovely piece is the first other regular posts again.
Since the beginning of the BryonySeries, we've dedicated Saturdays to Ed Calkins and all things Irish.
Musical pieces that feature the tin whistle are also an important part of the BryonySeries novel "Staked!"
Enjoy!
Saturdays on this blog are dedicated to BryonySeries author and Irish vampire character Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara, and all things Irish.
The tin whistle is the instrument of choice for Glorna, wood sprite come to life from character Ed's imagination.
"Foggy Dew" is an Irish ballad/Lament composed around the time of the Easter uprising in 1916, and this particular rendition is especially poignant.
Enjoy!
Enjoy this rendition of the Irish folk ballad, "Red is the Rose."
