More music playing

We were disappointed when our local NPR station stopped hosting "The Thistle and Shamrock." We have since found that their website now hosts the last three shows that have been broadcast. They also have the Thistlepod downloads for your iPod.

Fiona Richie is the lovely host, and she throws all kinds of Celtic and Irish music. There are some really beautiful ballads, but the rest of it just makes me want to hop and stomp while I am washing dishes or doing housework. Gotta love it!

Welcome!

Welcome to the official site and blog for the Robert James Madden Highland Games!

It is time to get excited! We are 71 days from the official games which will be held July 11th. Mark your calendars, for this comes once a year. So start a hummin' Loch Lomond while ye gets to trainin' for the games a comin'!

1. By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond.
Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae
On the bonnie, bonnie banks O' Loch Lomond.

Refrain:
O ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks O' Loch Lomond.

2. 'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side O' Ben Lomon',
Where in purple hue the Hieland hills we view,
An' the moon comin' out in the gloamin'
Refrain:

3. The wee birdies sing and the wild flow'rs spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleepin';
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring,
Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'.
Refrain:
