Celtic Highways and Byways

Paul and I, aka Drowsy Maggie & The Whistler, have started a new adventure in our new community of Pocahontas County, West Virginia. We are on Allegheny Mountain Radio every other Saturday, 3 to 5 pm playing Celtic tunes from the British Isles, Europe, and North America.  Live radio is a kick in the pants!  It keeps you on your toes especially when there are technical difficulties as there was today. It's our second show, so we are counting on the 3rd time to be a charm!


Being the Labor Day holiday weekend, we focused on tunes that had to do with work, working, traveling to working and then the fun of celebrating a holiday.
This week, our artist list included:
  • Damien Dempsey & the Dubliners
  • Solas
  • Beggar's Circus
  • Dysart & Dundonald Pipe Band
  • Bohola
  • Smithfield Fair
  • Maggie Macinnes
  • Beoga
  • Lúnasa
  • Tony DeMarco
  • Lissa Schneckenburger
  • Edsall Road
  • Mark Dunlop
  • Aurora Celtic
  • Bonnie Rideout
  • Sandy Meldrum
  • Beginish
  • The Dubliners
  • and Grit Laskin
We'll probably post the full song list at a future date (have to catch up from last week anyway), but we certainly look forward to future shows!

Stay tuned for what is happening next with Celtic Highways and Byways with Drowsy Maggie & the Whistler.

Travel Afternoon, Northern Neck Adventure

LOVING on some ladies from across the fence. Lovely day to explore the Northern Neck of Virginia with Vaden.


Enjoyed a step back in time while we tried to find directions to an ancestral home in the area of Farham, VA
