Any clues would be greatly appreciated. > -- Carl Shapiro Too bad you didn't ask a year ago. I bought that record and then gave it away -- the big orchestra and weak rock accompaniment were simply too EZ for my taste. Furthermore, there were no Celtic vocals. Absolutely the least interesting Stivell I've ever encountered. And ~$12, too... Stivell has released the most stunning authentic Celtic folksongs in simple authentic arrangements I've ever heard. Unfortunately, I have no idea which albums to get. But his Breton is quite beautiful. Penaos e ouzer n'eus ket tud o vevan~ war al loar? -michael
