Agreed. A perfect definition of originality in 20 seconds.

This Canada. The McGarrigle sisters. Sweet. #birlin

[Morgan Cameron Ross @Morgan_C_Ross]

The National Film Board of Canada’s 1979 short, The Log Driver’s Waltz. Can you sing along?

[Michael Grey @MichaelGrey]

Is it "Gen Zee" or "Gen Zed" on CBC's @PnPCBC ? Nails on a chalkboard each time @zchagla and @MichaelSolberg went zee. What am I like! #oldschool

[Michael Grey @MichaelGrey]

Everyone may not love Enya but who doesn't love a well-played instrument, like, say, a cello. Beautiful music. Sweet dog, too. #Serenity

[Patrick Dexter @patrickdextervc]

Only Time by Enya. Thank you for all the messages of encouragement. I have decided to keep posting music here from my cottage regularly despite things seem more and more uncertain for the future of Twitter. In the words of Enya "Who can say where the road goes? Only Time"

[Michael Grey @MichaelGrey]

Funny. If writing this today I think I would've edited "he" to "they". #bagpipes

Maybe you know him.

[Old Ireland in Colour 3 @irelandincolour]

"Does any o' ye know him?"

Possibly Liscannor, County Clare
1929

There's a clue in the name and occupation of his son...

Yes. Great interview. Coltrane is made all the more likeable for having had a tape of Dr Angus MacDonald in his car. #bagpipes @BagpipeNews

[John Ivison @IvisonJ]

All you ever needed to know about Robbie Coltrane. Brilliant interview.
