Dear Friends:

 

Spring is here and with it many exciting things are happening! 

  • Noel Nash and I have released our new CD!  A true folk album in the purest sense!  The 13 songs on this CD; some original ~ some traditional, will take you back like it was yesterday; whether it be to the turbulent era of the 60's, to the Hills of Connemara in Ireland or to stand amongst the emigrants on Ellis Island.  It is now available for purchase online at my website (in the store section) or you can mail a check for $17.95 made out to Hy-Brasyl to P.O. Box 1615, Jasper, Texas  75951 and we will mail you a CD. 
  • Have you made your summer travel plans?  If not, why not join me on my 2012 Songs of Ireland Heritage Tour - June 9th - 20th.  You have heard me sing the ballads of Ireland in my concerts across the country for many years ~ Now come join me this summer on my Heritage Tour and we will sing our way through Ireland. Travelling to Ireland can be a once in a lifetime opportunity and there is no better way to experience it then by hearing the songs and stories that share Irelands rich history right there in the land they were written about.   See more details at the end of this email.
  • The Great American Hootenanny Cruise! Join me on the American Queen as we cruise down theUpper Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee rivers from St. Paul, MN to St. Louis, MO - November 5th - 12th, 2012.  Joining me on the cruise to share the folk music of the 60's will be Noel Nash, Judy Collins, and the Kingston Trio!  Details/pricing of the cruise will be available soon atwww.greatamericansteamboatcompany.com.
