Celtic Music is alive and well in Spain!
The Highlander
Click above to hear Susana Seivane play the Gaeta.
The Seivane family of Galicia, Spain have kept the Spanish bagpipe,
the Gaeta, alive and well for almost a century, ably assisted by the
family's daughter, Susana Seivane, an infant prodigy who is probably
the best known Gaeta player in the Celtic world.
As most of us know, the Celtic people established themselves in Spain
and Portugal for centuries before leaving for Ireland and the British
Isles. However, the culture still lingers in Spain, in particular in
the provinces of Galicia and Asturias and in South America. The people
speak a part-Spanish, part Portuguese dialect and their Celtic origins
are very visible to this day.

to piping by a long way, no hair-do, showbiz smile and moves necessary

Allow me to remind you that I saw her first! Anyway, rumour has it
that she's deeply involved with an annoyingly handsome young Galician
singer which has of course ruined my - and your - day...
Damnit, Conway, she could have waited until we got our wheelchairs
booked for Galicia!
Anyway, she makes a change from those white-kneed Scottish pipers with
their cheeks all red and puffed out, eh?!

Back in the days of the skunk-stripe highlights on either
side of the face (late '70's/early '80's, as I recall) I
attempting lightening...since the amount of hair involved
wasn't that great it wasn't as big of a disaster as it might
have been...still, it was disasterous enough and it took a
long time for the resultant damage to grow out.
> I called myself "in love" with some jerk who preferred blondes--God

Why you called yourself "in love"? Youthful optimism, I
suspect. I've been fortunate, I fell in love with someone
whose preference in hair is "red" and "out of the eyes"
making it relatively easy to please him.

The same reason anyone else colours their hair...to do something
or be someone...different.

If can also be a pain in the arse. It attracts, often unwanted,

For the record, I tend to be reasonably laid back and not prone
to outbursts, but if I _do_ lose it, you can safely assume hair
colour plays no part in the equation.

True. It's actually in the hair shaft rather than just being

my hair shafts have sort of a copper colour to them. My siblings
would go out in the sun and go blonde. I'd just get down to dark with
reddish highlights.

"youthful optimism"--you always exhibit a rare gift for
understatement, but I suspect that here you're being charitable; I
have often exibited a tendency to rush headlong into situations that,
sometimes, should be approached with some caution or discretion; this
particular fellow was everything that I thought I was looking for--at
that time--so, any "improvements" (his word) that he suggested were
fine with me. In the end, my uncle and brothers-in-law had to--
ahem--"escort" him off the property before the rest of us tracked him
down to do him bodily harm (some of it to do with hair color!). Most
of it is my own fault--I do tend to have a knack for picking up
strays; but I salute your continuous good fortune. My best to His

on that topic, my oldest sister (who will have a birthday in a couple
of months)'s hair has gone completely white; she always was the
stylish one in the family, and when she puts her mind to it, she looks
radiant( even when going to the grocery store); some of our other
cousins have been bothering her---and my next couple of sisters, who
are exhibiting various gradiations of grayness, poor dears--into
trying out blue rinses. They evidently feel that this may be a way to
get our branch of the extended family back into the fold--since all
six of us bucked the trend and were red-haired--from brick to fire-
engine--and these folks were descended from folks who once believed
(and to some extent, still part of folklore) about red-headed folks
being "devil spawn". My sister, at last word, was actually
contemplating getting the other two and driving over to this
particular cousin's house with blue wigs on--this from a woman who is
expecting her first great-grandchild!

Oh, probably not charity...rushing in where angels fear to tread

sexes always seems to be laced with optimism...anyway, I have

A few years back one of the neighbourhood nuisances was
changing her hair colour every other week...to some really
vivid shades...hot pinks, neon greens, electric blues. I was
reliably informed by my own spawn that her dye of choice
was Kool-Aid (the removal of the colours when one is bored
of them is apparently speeded up by judicious use of tooth-
paste).
Why go blue rinse when you can go tropical punch instead?
(I've never gotten an answer as to whether or not it also
leaves a scent in the hair and if it does, does it attract
bees? Perhaps your sister could suggest said cousin run
the experiment and report back to us?)

changing the history of Europe and the world. Forensic medicine now
credits the Allied victory to the fact that Napoleon spent most of the
battle in his tent, having his surgeon attend to his appalling
hemorrhoids, which despite the battle, kept him otherwise engaged... A
continental version of Richard III's earlier plea - "My Kingdom for a
horse"; but in this case, "My Empire for a tube of Preparation H!"
It's a bummer when you have a day like that. Take's all the joy out of life.

I still exhibit "youthful optimism" at times, I guess; we're about the
same age, I think (I suspect you haven't reached mid-century, either),
but up until very recently, I have been traipsing around the globe
with no fixed abode, and I always figured that keeping on the go tends
to provide a youthful outlook on things, an outlook laced with some
discernment and discretion--hopefully. I have to admit I am rather
cynical about the concept of romance, although (as has been recently
shown) still susceptible to the well-placed bit of flattery. Ah

Tropical punch! I have never thought about that one! Wow--I'll pass

That is true; there are times when compliments (well-deserved or

Frances has been happily married for about twenty years to a native of

No, not quite, although I confess to days where I feel like I've
passed the century one...unusally after a day of being youth-
fully optimistic and under-estimating exactly how much work
is involved in...say, turning the compost heap or mulching the
back border.

I suspect a youthful outlook is more a function of an internal
mechanism than an external trigger...my "abode experience"
is the opposite of yours, yet I don't feel particularly staid or
even completely settled.

Oh, I'm with you there...I'm cynical about "concept of romance"
simply because after watching multitudes of friends search for
it or try to create it, I've concluded that most of what is deemed
"romantic" tends to be little more than smoke and mirrors at the
cost of substance...which naturally results in skewed perceptions
and expectations.
Maybe it's just my pragmatic nature, but I don't find dozens of
roses or expensive gifts particularly romantic...and I'm certainly
not going to respond gracefully (or gratefully) to some display
which becomes a public spectacle. A cup of coffee on the night-
stand every morning for _decades_, otoh, has considerable ro-
mantic potential in my world...little gestures, over time, can
become very Big Deals.

The audition begins with the first thoughtful gesture, Fred...and
lasts until either the facade cracks or decades pass.
Anyone (or his assistant/secretary) can throw money at grand
statements designed, mainly, to glorify themselves, but it takes
intelligence and observation to make a considered gesture tailored
to a specific significant other...they tend to be small things. It's
one of the ways women can tell the nice guys from the jerks...and
the response to said gesture is one of the ways men can tell the
keepers from the divas.
Deirdre
Fred J. McCall
Ah, you assume that men are TRYING to "tell the keepers from the
divas", but men are shallow...
So are women, actually. They're just in denial about it.
In the general case, neither can tell much about the other. Women
persistently pick jerks over nice guys (something to do with the whole
'bad boy' thing) and men persistently pick based on the purely
physical. Then both complain about their 'bad luck'.
Hmmm. I seem to feel particularly cynical about the human race
tonight...

You pathetic, Spaniard-wannabe mexcrements! No wonder you still speak
spicnish instead of the languages of Central America, hundreds of years
after being fucked and abandoned by your conquistadores! Every fucking
mexcrement has delusions of being Euro. Colonial Mentality at work
here, coconuts! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Well, in Mexico, the country of origin, they say "Tamal".
Or so say some of the Mexicans living here in Charlotte.

well, I knew that I had to change my hair color when I went to renew
my driver's license and started wondering why I got an "F" in
"sex"....
I didn't remember whether I had taken the test or not...
Jane Margaret
reformed blonde--never again!
**Oh my, I wonder if it was aural, oral, or practical ?
I got an M in sex, I don't know if that means *made it* or possibly
*misanthrope*. I do seem to recall a lot of *fumbling toward ecstasy*
though.
cheers....Jeff

Haggis is changing here in B.C.

Not any more.
There must be 50,000 Mexicans in Charlotte.
And as we all know, 50,000 Mexicans can't be wrong.
(Or was that fifty million Frenchmen?)
