My Interests

Music...Concerts...Music... Concerts We present a series of traditional and folk concerts from September through May each year. Have met some of the very best performers around and just love it! Next season will be amazing..Our venue is small and attractive. located within a restored 1805 colonial home..Gives the feeling of a house concert..Our performers love the setting as they have a close and intimate connection to the audience. You can visit http//thecaptaincharlesleonardhouse.blogspot.com and take a look at the space... Or visit our blog spot..at http//kelticgrasshopper.blogspot.com...For a complete listing of all our concerts..

I'd like to meet:

Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama, The Dali Lama:WHO I AVOID: CONTROL FREAKS, ANGRY PEOPLE, MANIPULATORS....WHO I ADMIRE MOST: My husband, my children and my grandchildren! I love using this space as a way to stay connected with friends who live a distance from us. I also love using this space as a way of re-connecting with friends from our past. I would love to continue to meet and be involved with people who share a common love of traditional Celtic music and song. I have always felt as though I was born in the wrong place and have long envied those lucky enough to live in places like The Canadian Maritime Provinces, or Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England. Now through this place we can feel connected and share our music and songs!
