I belong to a Bard Circle, and every 3 months or so, we get together and tell stories, sing songs, act out skits etc. I am an alto, and find that my voice is quite suited to the minor key of a lot of Scots/Irish/Welsh/English folk songs. I was having a devil of a time learning the Gaelic words to songs that didn't include a lyric sheet in the CD liner notes. Recently, I found this page. Neat-O! heeeheeehheee! Slainte.
