where I snagged the MIDI, and the web page for The Corrs recording company,
Atlantic.
For St. Patrick's Day, a cable channel broadcast a 1 1/2 hour Corrs' concert.
Mmmm...they sound a little better on CD.There is little Top-40 Pop-Rock fluff music that I like--except the stuff I heard in High School. (Hey, I liked "Rock Me Amadeus" too!) So here is a list of music that I especially like and recommend to those of you who choose not to be a part of the musical "herd."
Buy this music so that these artists get their just deserves!
This group of three sisters and a brother (all good-looking) spins celto-pop from Ireland (I presume). Jim, Andrea, Caroline and Sharon mix rock, classical and traditional styles, and the instrumentation of rock drums and electric guitars, piano and violins, and fiddles and bodhran. Bill Whelan of Riverdance fame even contributes with a drum arrangement in "Toss The Feathers."
All of the songs are good--especially the following. Also check out

show would play it once in a while. 
For personal reasons, last summer I played this song FREQUENTLY.
And it KEPT...GETTING...BETTER. 
This is the only MIDI file I have... You can guess what the music will be like by the fact the Ashley is on the back cover, scowling, wearing flannel, army boots and a kilt. Caledonia meets Seattle--and I LIKE it.
On the cover is a cryptic symbol with a smashed violin, a la Roger Daltrey, and "Approved C.B.D.A." I figure it's from the Cape Breton (something) Association... Ashley has all sorts of in-jokes and comments in the liner notes, so it's hard to figure out most of it. But who cares--it great music. I can think about it later, after I sprain my neck getting the feel for the first half of the album.
She's whiny, bitchy, foul-mouthed and discordant--that's life, and sometimes someone else can express it for me better than myself. Of course, yelling out the lyrics while speeding down Route 315 with the volume up to 30 helps, too.
Yet another Canadian in my musical library. May be us Usonians haven't quite beaten them down with of south-of-the-border pop...
Bitchin' harmonica bridge! I like the sound of "intellectual intercourse..."
Enya - Shepherd Moons
Soothing, inspiring and lovely...
...Let me get back to you on that. I need to replay "Caribbean Blue" again...
Caribbean
Blue
My most favoritist instrumental song. I wish she would release an extended
version for when I'm in one of my dreamy states. I think about an hour
would do. As it is, here is my tweaking
of a MIDI I found.A remake of his earlier all-instrumental album, this one is less strained and more electronic. Mike plays all the instrument (no, not all at the same time...) from piano, guitar, banjo...to tubular bells.
Mike runs through a series of instruments and effects, adjusting a recurrent
melody, until he plays...tubular bells. A great lesson in the sounds and
styles of different instruments. This is my attempt at sequencing part
of the melody. (I'm sorry, but this is the best I can do yet...)I have too much to say about her, so visit my Homage
to Loreena McKennitt
...and more to come:
etcetera...
