A collection of Celtic melodies with songs that feature mountain dulcimer and flute, and interspersed with a few short Celtic-style blessings. This recording features Linda Brockinton on mountain dulcimer and flute, joined by Lisa Odena on selected dulcimer duets. The Celtic-style blessings written and read by Debbie Freeman. Linda Brockinton - 2001 National Mountain Dulcimer Champion (Flute, Dulcimer, Irish Lap Harp and Penny Whistle), being a song writer, feels a strong kinship to composers of old songs. Her favorite music is the old Celtic, old Hymns and Classical. She feels that by playing the old songs she can keep the soul of her kindred spirites alive.
Lisa Odena grew up with a love of folk music. In 1997 Lisa was the first native Arkansan to win the Southern Regional Mountain Dulcimer contest in Mountain View, Arkansas. She plays in the ensemble, Heartstrings, with her husband Scott Odena.
Debbie Freeman is a Presbyterian minister in Little Rock, Arkansas. After living a year in Scotland, she became very interest and fascinated by all things Celtic. Besides writing prayers and poems in the Celtic style, she also designs Celtic jewelry and provided the art for the cover of this CD.
