TheKelticDead

KDM presents the story with the music for this made-public arrangement by Shaun Young (That KelticDead Guy). Visit www.KelticDead.com .

This is a "recruitment" song from the 17th and 18th Centuries.

In March of 2015, The Irish Rogues (headed up by Earnie Taft) were invited to play at the live, televised Allen Public Library Theatre. They invited "That KelticDead Guy" to play one song with them using his diatonic harmonica.

A tune based in a Russian Gypsy Folk Song and the lyrics were adapted by Gene Raskin (made public with credits).

In Scots Gaelic, An Eala Bhan translates as "The White Swan." Written in 1916 from a soldier in the trenches of WWI to his love at home.

A Celtic tune and song that has been morphed into the Appalachia music. A lively tune ... about death and dying. Typical.

Robert Burns created a poem about the Jacobite Rebels where the followers of King James tried to re-establish Catholic rule in Scotland. All four attempts failed, and the Jacobites were made into outlaws.
