An Eclectican Mother's Day; 2010


Happy Mother's Day, Everyone!!!


Welcome one and all! There's little preamble needed for this episode, other than that I hope you enjoy this little musical tribute to mothers of all shapes, types, sorts & sizes (and hopefully that you do so with your mother. :)) There is some blues and a mother-daughter song put in here to send a "hello" out to my own mother, but there are also songs about Mother Earth and other types of mothers, as every mama is special. ^_^ May all of you have a splendid Mother's Day, and a big "thank you" to all the mothers out there, as well as all the fantastic people (male & female) who've done their own shares (if not moreso) of mothering in my life. :)

I Love you, Mom.

Yours Forever in Song,
DJ Selchie

Lastly, I wanted to honour mothers who have gone past, using an amazing poem I found on Oona McOuat's home page. For me, this piece not only honours my mother (as well as others I look up to) but also all of the sweet, strong, amazing & invaluable people who've helped shape me into being who I am; and who, in one way or another, have been mothers in my life. (Be they spiritual, familial, social, or otherwise.)

Here's to the strong ladies; the role models past, present, and future! (Even if it's to be a matter of Self someday. ;)) From Mother Earth to the ants that traverse Her, thanks be to the Divine Feminine in all her Forms. ^_^

It's hard to find the path now.
Because I was following her.
I was following her ways without knowing
And now she is gone…
Gone, with all her wisdom…
No longer up ahead.
No more silver streams of healing things she said.
She can't tell me again.
I have listened for the last time.
Now I have to own it.
Now I have to know it.
Now I have to carry, and pass it on.
Remember it.
Look after it.
She can't tell me again.
It's hard to find the path now…
But I must search amongst the roots.
Because I know that…
I can sense that…
Someone is following me.
Waiting for her wisdom.

A Sickly Apology for the Saint Paddy's Day Show's Delay


Greetings everyone! Unfortunately I'm sick as crud atm, and that's delayed the production on the Celtic/St. Paddy's Day show. :( Please forgive me for this delay, but know that as soon as I no longer sound as if I've been gargling gravel and can finish a sentence w/o coughing, I'll get back to recording my voiceover portions of the podcast; so it will be live and active and ready to go! I have a HUGE show planned for you, chock -full- of great music and stupendous musicians that I truly hope you'll agree to be worth the wait. ^_^ (Plus, they'll have less talking than has been heard in previous eps, so you can just get right to the music!)

Until then, please enjoy this one silly selection from Brobdingnagian Bardsman Marc Gunn, as well as this snippet's lovely background music by Poitin! (Whose name I was not even about to try mangling on air. ;)) Both are graciously made available by Marc and the many wonderful bands at CelticMp3s.com, and I can't wait to play some of my favorites from there selection of FREE MUSIC (that's right, you heard me) on this next, upcoming Celtic/St. Paddy's Day show. ^_^

Love and grattitude to you all for your patience and loyalty!

Yours Always in Song,
DJ Selchie
