   About Sandra Lynn Sparks
Singer, harper, songwriter, lyricist, improvisationist - Sandra has performed with the groups Greenway Sparks and An Drasda, with the Georgia Renaissance Festival, The Atlanta Shakespeare Company, and at many Celtic festivals in the East. Among her most memorable memories: performing on Barra, Outer Hebrides, during the Clan MacNeil Gathering of 1987; with the ASC in Shakespeare's Globe Theater, August 1995; and sitting in (among other musicians) with the Chieftains during two of their Atlanta appearances. Her signature music is a type called freesong: improvised vocal music without real words, focusing on feeling rather than meaning. Enjoy a look at her video, with the song Twa Corbies

Oh no!! ;-) Do you think your poor harp can take hanging out at Chuck's for a few weeks? You guys were cracking us up Sunday.... heheheheh! So great to see and hear you...your voice and lyrics are outstanding. I had always wanted to refer to an ex as an infected cuss but didn't have the nerve!
love&all,

Yes, it is amazing what you can find by following the friends links. Not sure if you'll be familiar with the Old Blind Dogs (from my current home town of Aberdeen) - there is a wonderful version of Bedlam Boys you might like to hear on their live album released a few years back - if you're interested in Scottish Fiddle music I hope you have looked at Aidan O'Rourke - and if you want fiddle and dance check out Shooglenifty - and more wonderful Scottish and Gaelic song with Kris Drever (really nice bloke) and Julie Fowlis

Best Wishes,
Paul

Dang if I know who Dikran is! <grin>

If he hears the song now, he just goes, "you wrote that a loooong time ago!"

Good to hear from you.

Ha! I can't wait to hear what the cd sounds like too! The bastards snuck stuff in without giving me a hint so the mixing is turning into one little surprise after another. :) Miss you, sunshine. Be well!

Hi Sandra and thanks for getting in touch. I am supposed to be rushing out the door just now but I was stopped in my tracks by the songs on your player and have been reading some of the background info instead of driving! Fascinating and lovely stuff. Will be back for more later.

All the best
