My apologies...."Mckennitt" should have had 2 "t"s.

 

[Hard_Rom]

McKennitt was born in Morden, Manitoba, of Irish and Scottish descent to parents Jack (died 1992) and Irene McKennitt (1931–2011). In 1981, she moved to Stratford, Ontario, where she still resides.

When she was young McKennitt wanted to become a veterinarian; she would later state that music chose her rather than she it.

Stratford is the Biebs home town but don't hold that against her.

Home of the Stratford Shakespearean Festival. World famous, all the greatest Shakespeare actors have performed there.

Quite the creative small town.

Wow! Thanks doll! Love the bio! I've been listening to her music for many years now. Seeing her in concert on tv tonight was the impetus for this thread.

"Music chose her" is an understatement. wow. Thank you for your contrib!

Been an awfully long time since I've heard the name, but she has a song I was very fond of. Still am.

I'm fond of her music. I first heard it many years ago in Germany.

Six replies and no one has brought up The Mummers Dance.
Shame on you all!

Great music from her over the years

Dang Nips! If this isn't a "slow, sexy, belly-dance, turn to fuck you in the chair while you watch" kinda song....I don't know what is.

I'm exhausted.

Big fan! I first heard about her at The Wandering Moon in Shelburne Falls, Mass. I was just a youngster then but I fell in love with her music and even do a few of her songs when at karoke. (Wish I were near as good as her!)

Kate Price has a wonderful voice, as well. Very similar songs in some respects.

 

[Ishmael]

There's no telling where some marvelous music may come from. She started doing Renaissance Fairs and it shows in her style.

The Mummers Dance.

[RunningJib]

A long, long time ago

When The Book of Secrets was released I was turned on to her wonderful voice via "Highway Man"

Here's "Night Ride Across The Caucasus"

 

[RunningJib]

Similiar

Anouar Brahem also has a 'mystic' quality. Hails from Tunisia and plays the lute

"The Astounding Eyes of Rita"

 

[EternalFantasies]

You just found?

Here's one of my favorites since about a decade now.. maybe more.


Ooops... Ishmael already posted it.



EDIT: But his link goes to Fibonacci Fertility
