November Update
Hello All!
November's greetings to you. I'm currently observing an industrious chipmunk nearby who is busy collecting seeds for the Winter. Nothing can stop this chipmunk. After attempting to jump between branches, the chipmunk has fallen out of a tree, got whacked by a blustery neighboring branch, has been attacked by crows, frozen in fright by the sounds of sirens going by and more.

Announcing: Christmas with the Gothard Sisters - ONLINE!
We know that our Celtic Christmas tour has become an annual tradition for you, as well as for us. The idea that we would not be able to celebrate and play music for you all to ring in the season this year was saddening. And we can’t have that.
So we’re fixing the problem.
